Hi ,

With Unity 2020.1.14f1 and Cinemachine 2.7.1 , when i opt for " DOlly Camera with track",

1.The green tracks are not appearing , I am not able to draw a path where i want my camera to move.
2. The red camera for the main camera is not showing up

Can you please look into this and respond?

Thanks

Hello, I imported the package but I don't see "Cinemachine" in my game object menu? What might cause that?

 

Hello @Gregoryl ,
How safe is it to upgrade Cinemachine on Unity2019.3.9 ?
I was actually looking for a solution about my "2d polygon confiner with perspective camera issue" and this update came out ^^

 

Thanks.

 

Hello! I'm brand new to trying Unity, and have got myself into a pickle.

TLDR: I have 165 CS0246 errors I don't know how to correct
I am following the Unity tutorial for creating the John Lemon game found here:https://learn.unity.com/project/john-lemon-s-haunted-jaunt-3d-beginner

I followed every step and everything was fine and working up until "The Camera" tutorial section introducing the Cinemachine.

The tutorial mentions selecting the "Cinemachine" drop-down menu from the top menu and selecting the "create virtual camera" option. The "Cinemachine" drop-down menu should be between the "Component" and "Window" drop-down menus. However, in my Unity version, there was no such option. "Component" and "Window" were next to each other, and "Cinemachine" was nowhere to be found.

I am using Unity version "2019.4.5f1 Personal", and the beginning of the tutorial let me select the version I am using as "2019.4", so I figured it was the same, but apparently not. I looked through some online info about the Cinemachine and discovered there was a version 2.7.1 update that moved it to the "GameObject" menu, but it was not there either. I think I had version 2.5.0, or something - I'm not sure how to check the prior version I had. The same page mentioned how to update my Cinemachine to version 2.7.1 by using the "Package Manager", which I proceeded to install.

That worked, and I now had the Cinemachine in the "GameObject" menu and I was able to continue with the tutorial.

After setting up the virtual camera to follow the MC though, I tried to test the game and there are 165 errors, which are all variations of the same thing:

"Library\PackageCache\com.unity.quicksearch@3.0.0-preview.2\Editor\Indexing\SearchIndexEntryImporter.cs(126,45): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'AllowCaching' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I tried searching for related errors but didn't find any cases that mirrored mine, only individual examples of error CS0246 and how to correct them by renaming items, which I'm not confident in doing for 165 objects.

I don't know much about Unity or programming, but I understand this to mean that the naming convention of at least 165 objects Unity uses has either changed or been lost? I guess from the Cinemachine update?

I don't know how to easily fix all 165 instances. I tried removing the Cinemachine update I did but the errors remained and far more warnings were added to the console.

I have thought about uninstalling Unity altogether and reopening my project, but will that cause further problems? The work I did after updating Cinemachine I already saved, so would that be a problem? Or simply deleting the virtual camera I created sufficient to revert it?

I'm fairly confident that the Cinemachine update is the cause of all the problems since the play feature worked prior to starting the camera tutorial, but maybe I am even wrong in this since this is all new to me.

Any help would be most appreciated!

 

Hi there
Do you guys know where i can find a practical demonstration of the new confiner2D in a perspective camera setup ?
I find it reaaaaally hard to create the confiner polygon so it fits the proper framing.

I actually think that in perspective, "drawing" the camera confiner itself doesn't really make sense, what users would ultimately need is to draw the "FOV CONFINER", does that make any sense and do you think it is doable ?

 

Oh ! I just realized that the issue was about the Max Window Size parameter, setting this to zero actually confines the camera like you said. I do get pretty jiggery behaviour in "corners" though... :/

 

Plot twist, the damping does get rid off the snapping but actually setting max window size to zero improved the Confiner but camera fov is still a bit off.

 

If I understand correctly, from the scene view the confiner should not allow the camera to show passed the yellow line on the right. In game view the player sees "too much". If that makes sense ^^

Image Update :

I'm not expecting to see the red part in game view. Am I wrong ?

 

Sure, thanks




I'm gonna investigate a bit on the Follow Target side of things.
I'll get back to you soon, thank you for your help, as always !

 

That did the trick, good catch !
The FOV is not even close to what I need though

 

I ll try and tweak that then, thanks a lot !
I ll let you know how good it turns out

 

Where can I change the Cinemachine Gizmo?

 

Good Day
I am using cinemachine free look camera and i want to know do you have a tutorial on aiming with crosshair?
my aim is off a bit how to fix please?
thanks

 

Yes the gizmo, I did change that one but is does not take effect, not even after restarting unity. So my guess is that maybe its sourced from another place?

 

Good Day
thanks for the tutorial. i have another question. when my player jumps the free look cinemachine camera jiggle hard.
how to fix?

 

good day
