Question Virtual Camera With Orbital Transposing Revolves Around Target On Start

The virtual camera in my scene, which is set to Orbital Transposer, revolves around it's target about 180° when I start my scene. The change is near instant but there is a bit of damping between the position that is set as the start position in the inspector and a position about 180° from it. The binding mode is set to Simple Follow With World Up, but the same behavior exists on any of the bindings. How can I make it so that the virtual camera's position set in the inspector before starting the scene is the position it stays at when the scene starts? I am running Unity 2022.2.0f1 and Cinemachine 2.9.4.

Thank you.

 

Thanks for the reply @gaborkb . After some troubleshooting it seems that the issue is tied to the X axis input, if I disable the X axis input the issue stops. So, the scene starts with the camera at the position in the inspector and then it quickly jumps due to input coming from the mouse. I suppose this is to be expected, but is there any way to avoid it? Could the mouse be snapped to the position that corresponds with 0 input on scene start or something?

 

After troubleshooting a bit more I found a solution to my issue. Since the camera X axis input is based on the mouse's delta it should have an input of 0 so long it is not actively moving on scene start, but for some reason it sends a non-zero input on start even if the mouse is still. By delaying the enabling of the camera's Cinemachine Input Provider it misses the erroneous non-zero X axis input that occurs on start. Adding at least a 2 frame enabling delay seems to do the trick.

Here is the code used for the script which is attached to the offending virtual camera.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class CameraInputDelay : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     private CinemachineInputProvider inputProvider;
4.  
5.     private void Start()
6.     {
7.         inputProvider = GetComponent<CinemachineInputProvider>();
8.         StartCoroutine(EnableInputProvider(2));
9.     }
10.  
11.     IEnumerator EnableInputProvider(int frames)
12.     {
13.         for (int i = 0; i < frames; i++)
14.         {
15.             yield return null;
16.         }
17.         inputProvider.enabled = true;
18.     }
19. }

P.S. - I have not tested any of this in a build, only in the editor. It's possible the issue may not even exist in a build.
