lowering the priority to a virtual camera does not switch the active camera.

For this example lets say i have 3 cameras, A, B and C

A priority is 5, B priority is 10 and C priority is 0, if i change C priority to 15, cinemachine brain blends perfectly but then if i lower C back to 0 cinemachine brain is not blending back towards B which his priority was 10.

Am i doing something wrong? or is this a bug?

Ty!

 

the virtual cameras i have are all on prefabs as i just created some trigger zones to activate them, all those cameras have priority 5 when active, i also have cutscene cameras (not prefabs) with value 0 when not active and 15 when a cutscene is active.

However after tracking the issue a bit more, seems like when i set the value of a cutscene camera to 15 the value of the trigger camera is returned to 0 (the default prefab value, maybe is a prefab reset?)

 

i will try to replicate this on a small project, I am modifying the CinemachineVirtualCamera.m_Priority, should i be using ICinemachineCamera.Priority instead?

 

I have the same problem with priorities, they don’t work. Here is a print screen with a simple scene.



Vcam 1 should be the active camera but it's not. I also tried setting "Enable all child cameras" option and I get the same behaviour.

Only manually changing the order in the inspector works. Is this a bug?
I have the latest Cinemachine version installed.

 

@Gregoryl Thanks for the fast reply. It seems that I misunderstood the purpose of the StateDrivenCamera. I just want to change from one camera to the next from script (orbit / aim) when some conditions are met (not bound to animator controller).

Is there a better component for achieving this?

 

@Gregoryl I figured it out, not using the StateDrivenCamera at all did the trick
Thanks a lot for the help!

 

I have the same problem without the StateDrivenCamera. I set all my camera priority to 1 and the camera I want to something like 10. The Cinemachine brain choose a random virtual cam with priority of 1.

 

I wanted to make a demo scene for our environment with a camera that travels the world. I used the cinemachine path to drive the camera movement. I had problems with the aim of the virtual camera to change the direction smoothly. When I tried to change the aim object with the code the transition was a simple cut. To avoid this problem I used multiple virtual camera each one aiming a different object in the scene. All the camera use the same path and I swap between camera using priorities. Every time I want a camera to be the main I change his priority.

Maybe this is not the best way to achieve this but I didn't have a lot of time so I focused on a solution that I know.

PS : It finaly works ! I changed all my priorities values to something bigger and it works. The hierarchy value is still the same I dont know what happend

 

I also have the same problem where I want to switch between 3 cams , I am setting the main cam's priority high then the second one's to lower than first one's priority and I want to switch it from second to the third cam after the priority is lower then the second cam but it is not switching to third cam
