How to force a VirtualCamera (transposer) to set its position instantly ?

Hello guys,

I have a Vcam that follows my player and it's working as expected. At some point in my game I "teleport" my player and the Vcam needs some times to reach the player and travel fast around the world. When I teleport the player I do not want the Vcam to follow and catch the player during seconds, I'd like it to "instantly" compute and set its final position and then get back to its "normal" behaviour.

Is that possible ?

Thanks.

 

I have tried these two methods, but still can't update camera real position instantly, I want update camera's real position immediately not next frame, how can I make it? Thanks.

1. disabling then re-enabling the vcam's gameObject.
2. vcam.PreviousStateIsValid = false;

 

1. Is your target animating on Update or FixedUpdate? The detail of my issue is:

a. switch to a new scene, and there is a active vcam in this new scene.
b. Init vcam, set transposer.m_FollowOffset and set vcam target position in Start event.
c. then i have a get real camera position and do sth logic

2. my vcam update in LateUpdate
3. I dont know when should i set this property, so i tried before/after, in vcam Awake, but nothing happened.

 

Your understanding is mostly correct, As you said: " the problem is that for one frame, the camera is in the wrong place. The next frame, it's fine." Yes, this is the problem i want to fix.

step c is I need the camera's position in that frame to continue my game logic, but since the camera is not in the right place, so my game logic went wrong.

finally what i want is, in my initiate logic update the Camera(not the virtal camera) position instantly, not the next frame.

Thanks for your reply.

 

OK, thanks.

 

Hello! Trying to catch CameraUpdatedEvent, but receiving error. How properly setup "OnCameraUpdated function"? Please help. Cant find any examples in documentation.

Argument 1: cannot convert from 'method group' to 'UnityAction<CinemachineBrain>' (CS1503) [Assembly-CSharp]

private void Start() {

  brainEvent = CinemachineCore.CameraUpdatedEvent;

  brainEvent.AddListener(Ping)

}



private void OnCameraUpdated() {

  Debug.Log("completed!");

  /// my jobs here

}

 

thanks for rapid reply!
It compiles without errors now, but I'm receiving infinite amount of events
(Debug.Log("completed!") shows 999+ lines.

Is it because of camera every frame changing position (cant see any changes in editor though) or because of wrong code logic?

 

I have target group of objects. Sometimes weights of objects changes and I need to do some logic with UI after camera finished changing orthographic size. (need actual ortho size)

 

I thought as much. Thanks for confirmation.

Since changing ortho size it is a process, not an instant event, hard to track final value.

Easer way, but not so smart is Coroutine with 1 second delay. xD

Anyway, thank you very much for your answers.
