Fields

CameraCollisionFilter

Camera will avoid obstacles on these layers.

Declaration
[Header("Obstacles")]
[Tooltip("Camera will avoid obstacles on these layers")]
public LayerMask CameraCollisionFilter
Field Value
Type Description
LayerMask

CameraDistance

How far behind the hand the camera will be placed.

Declaration
[Tooltip("How far behind the hand the camera will be placed")]
public float CameraDistance
Field Value
Type Description
Single

CameraRadius

Specifies how close the camera can get to obstacles

Declaration
[Tooltip("Specifies how close the camera can get to obstacles")]
[Range(0F, 1F)]
public float CameraRadius
Field Value
Type Description
Single

CameraSide

Specifies which shoulder (left, right, or in-between) the camera is on.

Declaration
[Tooltip("Specifies which shoulder (left, right, or in-between) the camera is on")]
[Range(0F, 1F)]
public float CameraSide
Field Value
Type Description
Single

Damping

How responsively the camera tracks the target. Each axis (camera-local) can have its own setting. Value is the approximate time it takes the camera to catch up to the target's new position. Smaller values give a more rigid effect, larger values give a squishier one.

Declaration
[Tooltip("How responsively the camera tracks the target.  Each axis (camera-local) can have its own setting.  Value is the approximate time it takes the camera to catch up to the target's new position.  Smaller values give a more rigid effect, larger values give a squishier one")]
public Vector3 Damping
Field Value
Type Description
Vector3

DampingFromCollision

How gradually the camera returns to its normal position after having been corrected by the built-in collision resolution system. Higher numbers will move the camera more gradually back to normal.

Declaration
[Range(0F, 10F)]
[Tooltip("How gradually the camera returns to its normal position after having been corrected by the built-in collision resolution system.  Higher numbers will move the camera more gradually back to normal.")]
public float DampingFromCollision
Field Value
Type Description
Single

DampingIntoCollision

How gradually the camera moves to correct for occlusions.
Higher numbers will move the camera more gradually.

Declaration
[Range(0F, 10F)]
[Tooltip("How gradually the camera moves to correct for occlusions.  Higher numbers will move the camera more gradually.")]
public float DampingIntoCollision
Field Value
Type Description
Single

IgnoreTag

Obstacles with this tag will be ignored. It is a good idea to set this field to the target's tag

Declaration
[Tooltip("Obstacles with this tag will be ignored.  It is a good idea to set this field to the target's tag")]
public string IgnoreTag
Field Value
Type Description
String

ShoulderOffset

Position of the shoulder pivot relative to the Follow target origin.
This offset is in target-local space.

Declaration
[Header("Rig")]
[Tooltip("Position of the shoulder pivot relative to the Follow target origin.  This offset is in target-local space")]
public Vector3 ShoulderOffset
Field Value
Type Description
Vector3

VerticalArmLength

Vertical offset of the hand in relation to the shoulder.
Arm length will affect the follow target's screen position when the camera rotates vertically.

Declaration
[Tooltip("Vertical offset of the hand in relation to the shoulder.  Arm length will affect the follow target's screen position when the camera rotates vertically")]
public float VerticalArmLength
Field Value
Type Description
Single

Properties

IsValid

True if component is enabled and has a Follow target defined

Declaration
public override bool IsValid { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
Boolean
Overrides

Stage

Get the Cinemachine Pipeline stage that this component implements. Always returns the Aim stage

Declaration
public override CinemachineCore.Stage Stage { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
CinemachineCore.Stage
Overrides

Methods

GetMaxDampTime()

Report maximum damping time needed for this component.

Declaration
public override float GetMaxDampTime()
Returns
Type Description
Single

Highest damping setting in this component
Overrides

GetRigPositions(out Vector3, out Vector3, out Vector3)

Internal use only. Public for the inspector gizmo

Declaration
public void GetRigPositions(out Vector3 root, out Vector3 shoulder, out Vector3 hand)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Vector3 root

Root of the rig.
Vector3 shoulder

Shoulder of the rig.
Vector3 hand

Hand of the rig.

MutateCameraState(ref CameraState, Single)

Orients the camera to match the Follow target's orientation

Declaration
public override void MutateCameraState(ref CameraState curState, float deltaTime)
Parameters
Type Name Description
CameraState curState

The current camera state
Single deltaTime

Elapsed time since last frame, for damping calculations.
If negative, previous state is reset.
Overrides

OnTargetObjectWarped(Transform, Vector3)

This is called to notify the us that a target got warped, so that we 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
