CineMachine to follow a spawned Player

Unity Engine
1

Hello!
I would like to spawn a player (maybe he dies and re-spawn) and then Cinemachine would set target on him and follow.

So I …

using Cinemachine;

public class SpawnManager : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameObject player;
    public CinemachineVirtualCamera myCinemachine;


    void Start()
    {
       Instantiate(player, new Vector3(-8f, -2f, 0), Quaternion.identity);
        myCinemachine = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();

    }

    private void Update()
    {
        myCinemachine.Follow = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
    }


}

Of course It does not work! :stuck_out_tongue: I put it in Update so … may be it is always updating!

How can I assign the transform to follow to my camera?

thanks a lot as usual for your help! :*

This is not a useful diagnosis. Instead, break it down to isolate where things are going wrong.

I recommend liberally sprinkling Debug.Log() statements through your code to display information in realtime.

Doing this should help you answer these types of questions:

  • is this code even running? which parts are running? how often does it run?
  • what are the values of the variables involved? Are they initialized?

Knowing this information will help you reason about the behavior you are seeing.
