I usually do that when I start out a project, just to save time, but then I write my own script. had no idea cinemachine had one.

@gloryxdev 2 жыл бұрын

Another option would be to unparent the camera entirely, and add an empty GameObject. Then you could set the position of the camera to the empty GameObject any frame, and add any extra camera shake or movement via script.

This is certainly an option. However using cinemachine gives you a ton more options to customize the camera. These customizations can go a long way in making your game feel more polished.

Good video, just a bit confused about something... Why can't you just attach the main camera to your player character? It works for me?

@AIAdev 6 ай бұрын

This is certainly a fine solution if you're starting out, but as you make more advanced and polished games you'll most likely come to find that doing this usually causes problems. For instance... walking up steps makes would make the camera movement jittery and jarring... and leading or trailing the camera becomes much more difficult to do when your camera is parented to your player.

It's not bad, just a little inflexible; for example if you wanted to have your camera lag behind your player and catch up when your player stops, that would be kinda hard if your camera was a child object of your player. Still I'm sure it works for some games.

Putting the camera on the player can often cause issues and/or jitter. Doing it this way makes it so that you can easily do things like leading or trailing the camera, change camera, or transition cameras
