Hi!

I have a problem trying to understand how to use the "except:GameObject" vcam parameter.

CinemachinePriority()
Syntax: CinemachinePriority(vcam, [priority], [cut])

Parameters:

vcam: The name of a GameObject containing a CinemachineVirtualCamera. Alternatives for this parameter:
all: Set the priority of all vcams.
except:GameObject: Set the priority of all vcams except the one named GameObject.
priority: (Optional) New priority level. Default: 999.
cut: (Optional) Cuts immediately to the new vcam instead of easing to it.

According to the docs, if I use "except:vcamName" as the first parameter, it should set the priority for all other cameras other than vcamName.

I'm using it as shown:

Code: Select all

CinemachinePriority(except:vcamName, 0);

And I'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

Dialogue System: Sequencer: CinemachinePriority(except:vcamName,0): Can't find virtual camera 'except:vcamName.
UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object)

Debugging the class "CinemachineVirtualCamera" I see at line 24 that

Code: Select all

var vcam = (subject != null) ? subject.GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>() : null;

subject is null.

Removing "except:" changes the priority for the specified camera.

So, the issue was that the branch I'm in had an outdated of Dialogue System. :facepalm:

I'm going to blame our devops for not merging the updated DS into main yet.

Ah, I was just about to suggest that. Glad you got it all sorted out.
