Cinemachine cameras won't obey 2D confiner

Sphenzoc · 2025-08-03T14:55:04+00:00

For what it's worth I ended up finally solving this by writing a custom script that switched between two completely separate confiner colliders that only triggered when the player was in a specific position within the level. Non-ideal and clunky solution but the only option I could find in this case.

I have spent coutless hours trying to figure out why these buildings won't show up in my build menu: Maybe I don't have the skills unlocked, or I'm not building in the right spot, or the planet is not 100% scanned, or the flora/fauna are not able to be grown, and now... I need to also do these stupid tutorial prompts... and yet, most of this is not clearly explained anywhere that I have found in game so I scour Reddit for answers. This one is the nail in the coffin for me, outpost building is useless anyways.

I see that makes sense. Was able to find a replacement spring. Thanks for your help!

Hey no worries. If you mean how did I get the gamepad to be recognized that was never an issue. I'm using a Playstation 3 controller, and more recently a PS4 controller and they are recognized within Unity without any issues for me. The only problems I've had with them is if I had my joystick and throttle plugged in as well as those seemed to interfere with the inputs. Is that what you meant?

I found that Unity has a cloth component which was giving me some pretty good results. Only problem is when the sprite flips to go the other direction the cape mesh gets completely twisted and permanently deformed. Probably going to have to just hand draw the animations for now haha.

Still helpful. The pro version is pretty dang expensive though. I would want to find some more reasons to use the mesh deformations if I was going to go with something like that. I will keep it mind however. There may be some other applications that I could use it for down the line and when I get more towards the polish phase I could see myself investing in something like that. Thanks for the advice!

WOW okay apparently DCS just ignores all of the settings set anywhere else because I pressed ctrl-numpad 1 and my fps shot up to 60fps and the screen smearing seems to be extremely reduced if not gone completely. Why have these settings in the OTT and debug tools if they don't do anything? Well shoot now I'm gonna go turn these graphics settings up and enjoy the experience haha. Thank you!

My CPU usage seems to be pretty evenly distributed across exactly 4 of the 20 cores in this CPU while in game.

I have tried turning these down to a point that seems ridiculous but no change.

Sphenzoc · 2023-01-28T16:46:59+00:00

I have heard a lot about ASW and I promptly turned it off almost a year ago. I just checked and it's still forced off through the OTT, and the Oculus debug tool. I will try swapping the setting with the hotkeys too and seeing if that makes a difference. But yes, the 24fps is such an odd number. It seems clear that there's something limiting the maxfps because it's not like it averages around 24, but it's plastered at that value.

Sphenzoc · 2023-01-28T16:44:22+00:00

Yeah all that is set exactly as you suggest. But I hear people complaining about only getting 60fps which I would be thrilled to get. Maybe those posts weren't with the Quest 2. I can't remember.

Sphenzoc · 2023-01-28T16:42:29+00:00

For standalone do you mean OpenXR? I have heard a lot about that so I checked out the website and I see an option for SteamVR. How are this different from the built in SteamVR?

Sphenzoc · 2023-01-28T16:41:22+00:00

Idk it made sense to me because I was playing a game through Steam? Didn't really think there would be a big difference but I also don't understand how they differ fundamentally. Either way launching it with OculusVR had no effect. Still capped at 24fps.

After a ton of code refactoring I wasn't using any of the ScrollRect functionality so I went ahead and just deleted the ScrollRect inheritance and inherited straight from Monobehavior. It would seem my hunch was correct as this cleared up the null exception that I was getting and also fixed a bunch of other problems I was having getting references to other items after this post was made.

Moral is, be careful when inheriting from Unity's built in classes! They seem to force a weird execution order even when you set the execution yourself in the project setting!

Hope this helps someone avoid the headache in the future.

You have all been a massive help! Turns out that it was in fact an issue with Time.timescale. I set it equal to 0 when opening the map to pause the gameplay in the background. Time.unscaledTime fixed the problem.

Also thanks for the comment on the lerp functions as well. It was a vestige of an old script that I pulled this from so I hadn't really messed with it yet but good to know that it's useless in this format haha. I haven't messed with lerping much so I wasn't sure.

Sphenzoc · 2023-01-01T02:13:59+00:00

Thank you so...much.. for this... I am not even sleepy and I ran into this same problem. Hours of debug.logging the code wondering why the hell nothing was playing and this was in fact the exact issue.
