[SOLVED] best way to debug impulses?

Hi,

Cinemachine is great. But I always have a lot of trouble getting impulses to work (although so far I have always succeeded in the end!). At the moment I am using a cinemachine timeline track with a number of cameras and I just cant seem to get the impulse to be received. Is there a way to debug impulse responses, for example to log to console which cameras receive an impulse?

Many thanks in advance!

 

Thanks for your help i will try this out ASAP.

 

Thanks again for your help. As usual the problem was with my configuration, not cinemachine. If anyone is interested, i attach the little cinemachine extension I knocked up to output debug to console.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3. using UnityEngine;
4. namespace Cinemachine
5. {
6.     /// <summary>
7.     /// An extension for Cinemachine Virtual Camera which listens for CinemachineImpulse
8.     /// signals on the specified channels, and outputs debug information to console when received
9.     /// </summary>
10.     [SaveDuringPlay]
11.     [AddComponentMenu("")] // Hide in menu
12. #if UNITY_2018_3_OR_NEWER
13.     [ExecuteAlways]
14. #else
15.     [ExecuteInEditMode]
16. #endif
17.     public class CinemachineImpulseDebugListener : CinemachineExtension
18.     {
19.         /// <summary>
20.         /// Impulse events on channels not included in the mask will be ignored.
21.         /// </summary>
22.         [Tooltip("Impulse events on channels not included in the mask will be ignored.")]
23.         [CinemachineImpulseChannelProperty]
24.         public int m_ChannelMask = 1;
25.  
26.         /// <summary>
27.         /// Enable this to perform distance calculation in 2D (ignore Z).
28.         /// </summary>
29.         [Tooltip("Enable this to perform distance calculation in 2D (ignore Z)")]
30.         public bool m_Use2DDistance = false;
31.  
32.         protected override void PostPipelineStageCallback(
33.             CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam,
34.             CinemachineCore.Stage stage, ref CameraState state, float deltaTime)
35.         {
36.             if (stage == CinemachineCore.Stage.Aim)
37.             {
38.                 Vector3 impulsePos = Vector3.zero;
39.                 Quaternion impulseRot = Quaternion.identity;
40.                 if (CinemachineImpulseManager.Instance.GetImpulseAt(
41.                     state.FinalPosition, m_Use2DDistance, m_ChannelMask, out impulsePos, out impulseRot))
42.                 {
43.                     Debug.Log("CinemachineImpulseDebugListener on: "+gameObject.name+" got impulse"+Quaternion.Angle(impulseRot,Quaternion.identity).ToString("F5")+" "+impulsePos.magnitude.ToString("F5"));
44.                 }
45.             }
46.         }
47.     }
48. }
