smooth transistion to new offset

i have a third person aim camera which works fine using this

Code (CSharp):

1. public class CameraAim : CinemachineExtension
2. {
3.     protected override void PostPipelineStageCallback(CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam, CinemachineCore.Stage stage, ref CameraState state, float deltaTime)
4.     {
5.         if (stage == CinemachineCore.Stage.Aim)
6.         {
7.             //Debug.Log("PostPipelineStageCallback Aim");
8.             state.PositionCorrection += state.FinalOrientation * Offset;
9.         }
10.     }
11. }

but i'd like a smooth transition to the aim position so i wrote this

Code (CSharp):

1. public class CameraAim : CinemachineExtension
2. {
3.     public Vector3 Offset;
4.     public Vector3 OffsetInc;
5.     public Vector3 CurrOffset;
6.     protected override void Awake()
7.     {
8.         OffsetInc = Offset / 100;
9.         CurrOffset = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
10.     }
11.  
12.  
13.     protected override void PostPipelineStageCallback(CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam, CinemachineCore.Stage stage, ref CameraState state, float deltaTime)
14.     {
15.         if (stage == CinemachineCore.Stage.Aim)
16.         {
17.             //Debug.Log("PostPipelineStageCallback Aim "+ deltaTime);
18.             if (CurrOffset.z < Offset.z) {
19.                CurrOffset += OffsetInc;
20.             }
21.             state.PositionCorrection += state.FinalOrientation * OffsetInc;
22.         }
23.     }
24. }

maybe its the wrong way to do it, please advise?
anyhow, Awake is only called once and i can't find an enter callback so no idea where to put the initialization code so it only works the first time it's used.

any idea? thanks

 

i figured it out if anyone interested, my player aiming camera offset script looks like this

Code (CSharp):

1. public class CameraAim : CinemachineExtension
2. {
3.     public Vector3 Offset;
4.     public float OffsetMultiplier;
5.  
6.     protected override void PostPipelineStageCallback(CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam, CinemachineCore.Stage stage, ref CameraState state, float deltaTime)
7.     {
8.         if (stage == CinemachineCore.Stage.Aim)
9.         {
10.             state.PositionCorrection += state.FinalOrientation * Offset * OffsetMultiplier;
11.         }
12.     }
13. }

the extra control OffsetMultiplier is set in the animation state machine callback like this

Code (CSharp):

1.     override public void OnStateUpdate(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex)
2.     {
3.         // Implement code that processes and affects root motion
4.         AnimatorStateInfo animationState = animator.GetNextAnimatorStateInfo(0);
5.         if (animationState.normalizedTime != 0)
6.             return;     // its in a transition from another state i think, confused much!
7.  
8.         animationState = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
9.  
10.         // smooth trasition camera to aim offset
11.         _PlayerController.Player3rdPersonCamera.GetComponent<CameraAim>().OffsetMultiplier = animationState.normalizedTime;
12.     }
