Class CinemachineMixingCamera

CinemachineMixingCamera is a "manager camera" that takes on the state of the weighted average of the states of its child virtual cameras.

A fixed number of slots are made available for cameras, rather than a dynamic array. We do it this way in order to support weight animation from the Timeline. Timeline cannot animate array elements.

MaxCameras

The maximum number of tracked cameras. If you want to add more cameras, do it here in the source code, and be sure to add the extra member variables and to make the appropriate changes in GetWeight() and SetWeight(). The inspector will figure itself out based on this value.

Declaration
public const int MaxCameras = 8
Field Value
Type Description
Int32

Properties

ChildCameras

Get the cached list of child cameras. These are just the immediate children in the hierarchy. Note: only the first entries of this list participate in the final blend, up to MaxCameras

Declaration
public CinemachineVirtualCameraBase[] ChildCameras { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
CinemachineVirtualCameraBase[]

Follow

Not used

Declaration
public override Transform Follow { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Transform
Overrides

LookAt

Not used

Declaration
public override Transform LookAt { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Transform
Overrides

State

The blended CameraState

Declaration
public override CameraState State { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
CameraState
Overrides

Methods

ForceCameraPosition(Vector3, Quaternion)

Force the virtual camera to assume a given position and orientation

Declaration
public override void ForceCameraPosition(Vector3 pos, Quaternion rot)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Vector3 pos

Worldspace pposition to take
Quaternion rot

Worldspace orientation to take
Overrides

GetWeight(CinemachineVirtualCameraBase)

Get the weight of the child CinemachineVirtualCameraBase.

Declaration
public float GetWeight(CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam)
Parameters
Type Name Description
CinemachineVirtualCameraBase vcam

The child camera.
Returns
Type Description
Single

The weight of the camera. Valid only if camera is active and enabled.

GetWeight(Int32)

Get the weight of the child at an index.

Declaration
public float GetWeight(int index)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Int32 index

The child index. Only immediate CinemachineVirtualCameraBase children are counted.
Returns
Type Description
Single

The weight of the camera. Valid only if camera is active and enabled.

InternalUpdateCameraState(Vector3, Single)

Internal use only. Do not call this methid. Called by CinemachineCore at designated update time so the vcam can position itself and track its targets. This implementation computes and caches the weighted blend of the tracked cameras.

Declaration
public override void InternalUpdateCameraState(Vector3 worldUp, float deltaTime)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Vector3 worldUp

Default world Up, set by the CinemachineBrain
Single deltaTime

Delta time for time-based effects (ignore if less than 0)
Overrides

InvalidateListOfChildren()

Invalidate the cached list of child cameras.

Declaration
protected void InvalidateListOfChildren()

IsLiveChild(ICinemachineCamera, Boolean)

Check whether the vcam a live child of this camera.

Declaration
public override bool IsLiveChild(ICinemachineCamera vcam, bool dominantChildOnly = false)
Parameters
Type Name Description
ICinemachineCamera vcam

The Virtual Camera to check
Boolean dominantChildOnly

If truw, will only return true if this vcam is the dominat live child
Returns
Type Description
Boolean

True if the vcam is currently actively influencing the state of this vcam
Overrides

OnEnable()

Makes sure the internal child cache is up to date

Declaration
protected override void OnEnable()
Overrides

OnTargetObjectWarped(Transform, Vector3)

This is called to notify the vcam that a target got warped, so that the vcam can update its internal state to make the camera also warp seamlessy.

Declaration
public override void OnTargetObjectWarped(Transform target, Vector3 positionDelta)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Transform target

The object that was warped
Vector3 positionDelta

The amount the target's position changed
Overrides

OnTransformChildrenChanged()

Makes sure the internal child cache is up to date

Declaration
public void OnTransformChildrenChanged()

OnTransitionFromCamera(ICinemachineCamera, Vector3, Single)

Notification that this virtual camera is going live.

Declaration
public override void OnTransitionFromCamera(ICinemachineCamera fromCam, Vector3 worldUp, float deltaTime)
Parameters

The camera being deactivated. May be null.
Vector3 worldUp
