How to do Camera Shake with Cinemachine!

who have NullReference error >>> write >> private CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin;

Nice, that was easy!

help me ples Object reference not set to an instance of an object
ScreenShakeController.ShakeCamera (System.Single intesity, System.Single time) (at Assets/Scripts/ScreenShakeController.cs:19)
Movement.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Movement.cs:217)

Whats the best game you maked ? 🎉

Wonderful tutorial. Thanks. Is it possible to make this shake in only Y axis?

Sir, I am getting "Null reference exception" error in the line where we get CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin component.
Please help sir!

I have a problem using this shake, on a 2D game worked perfectly but now trying in 3D it looks really wobbly after build (played on the editor looks nice tho)... does anyone have any clue on how to solve the wobbliness

The positions of objects may be offseted a bit after a rough shake. Any solutions?

How to deal with multiple cameras and transitioning between them? For some reason when I have Cam 1 working, and I transition to a new room with another camera, the script stops working.

Thank u so much

can i used this code with cinemachinefreelook????

If you use FreeLook Camera:

public static CinemachineShake instance;

public float shakeIntensity = 5f;
public float shakeTime = 0.1f;

private CinemachineFreeLook cinemachineFreeLook;
private float shakeTimer;

private void Awake()
{
instance = this;
cinemachineFreeLook = GetComponent<CinemachineFreeLook>();
}

public void ShakeCamera()
{
for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin = cinemachineFreeLook.GetRig(i).GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin>();
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = shakeIntensity;
shakeTimer = shakeTime;
}
}

private void Update()
{
if (shakeTimer > 0)
{
shakeTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
if (shakeTimer <= 0f)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin = cinemachineFreeLook.GetRig(i).GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin>();
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = 0f;
}
}
}
}

Hey Code Monkey! Great Tutorial, i was wondering, this works when i have more than one cinmeachine camera? I have to add the shake script to the other ones?

Why create an Instance for ShakeCamera and not only put in an object and then call the method?

Hi, I tried my best to follow this but I keep getting an error saying "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" at this line "CameraShake.Instance.Shake(5f, 0.1f);" and the camera then doesn't shake

Love the video really helpfull, keep it up

Hi Code Monkey - I've been following your 3rd person controller videos (they're brilliant).
Just wanted your thoughts on what was the best way to implement a CineMachine camera shake when using the 3rd person controller - with regards to the aiming.

Firstly have you covered this in any other video? If so just po

In those tutorials you are using a second camera to blend between Player Follow and Player Aim. The problem comes because the virtual camera responsible for player aim is always targeting the position in front (the debug ball). I believe its recentering the camera and wildly affecting the shake effect.

Any thoughts? Perhaps a 3rd Camera needs to be introduced for Solely camera shake?

Cheers, James 🥰

i got a weird bug. when iu use this effect everytime i shoot, it starts to tilt the world at some point O.o

I'm suggesting use coroutine

run like this:
StartCoroutine(nameof(ShakeCamera), new ShakeCameraOptions { DurationInSeconds = 3, AmplitudeGain = 1, FrequencyGain = 1 });

and implement lie this:
private CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin;
private IEnumerator ShakeCamera(ShakeCameraOptions options)
{
//var rigIndex = CinemachineFreeLook.RigNames.Where()
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin = cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin ?? Cinemachine.GetRig(2).GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin>();

cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = options.AmplitudeGain;
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_FrequencyGain = options.FrequencyGain;

yield return new WaitForSeconds(options.DurationInSeconds);

cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = 0;
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_FrequencyGain = 0;
}

Instead of using the singleton pattern I used it diretly in the script I wanted but even though I used getCineMachineComponent on CineMachineVirtual component it is not able to get it on awake and is showing null error

thanks for the great tutorial!

Thank you for this one. Turns out the cinemachine impulse events only fire if there is a box collider, not a mesh or convex collider. This is the missing piece...now to translate this into visual scripting.

I keep getting the error "Use of unassigned local variable 'cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin" as well as some other errors to do with the mutilchannelperlin. Help.

Nice! Excellent video, thanks!

can't find the "CinemachineShake" when using cinemachine. maybe this tutorial needs an update? i'm using unity 2020

Thank you so much great tutorial!

nice one !

Code for those who need it:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;

public class CinemachineShake : MonoBehaviour
{
private CinemachineVirtualCamera cinemachineVirtualCamera;
private float shakeTimer;

private void Awake()
{
cinemachineVirtualCamera = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
}

public void ShakeCamera(float intensity, float time)
{
CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin = cinemachineVirtualCamera.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin>();
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = intensity;
shakeTimer = time;
}

private void Update()
{
if (shakeTimer > 0)
{
shakeTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
if (shakeTimer <= 0f)
{
CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin = cinemachineVirtualCamera.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin>();
cinemachineBasicMultiChannelPerlin.m_AmplitudeGain = 0f;
}
}
}
}

Thnx so much =)

why does my character sprite keep on flickering when I add camera shake?

Super Useful! thx

Great post helped me alot. Thankyou.

Thank you!

thnx bro

For anyone who had the same issue as I did; the camera wouldn't stop shaking once it started. So had to change:
Mathf.Lerp(startingIntensity, 0f, shakeTimer / shakeTimerTotal);
to this:
Mathf.Lerp(startingIntensity, 0f, 1 - shakeTimer / shakeTimerTotal);
Excellent tutorial though, thank you!

How would you change the profile? I want to use one of the Handheld profiles when I'm not shooting.

Thanks! This helped so much!

Bruh..
Your typing speed is like a train! WTF

If all your video was like this 😍 thank you very simple and clean

Thank you thank you thank you and thank you :) ,.. bro, a question. Why when changing cameras, I go from VCam 1 to Cam 2, I disable Vcam 1 because I am on Vcam2. But when I go back to Vcam 1 and enable, it doesn't work anymore, it's like sticking to VCam2. Because I go back to VCam2 and it keeps working but VCam1 no longer after the change. Any idea?

There is any way to do this using the Cinemachine Impulse listener feature ? Thank you guys

hm... This is not really working for me :/ But I have three cams atm stored in a StateDrivenCamera, is there a way to ad screenshake to all of them simultaniously?

Edit: well, I made it work, I just did the same thing but for all cameras instead of one, alittle clunky but worked.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it really helped me :) keep up the great work!

Very helpful. Problem is when i trigger the cam shake... my camera doesn't go back to its original position :S

Thanks for the tutorial, the lerping part for some reason isn't working for me though. And yes, I changed it to = Mathf.Lerp(startingIntensity, 0f, 1-(shakeTimer/shakeTimerTotal)); Why doesn't it work?

MUITO OBRIGADOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice vid! Sometimes it feels like you are over complicating stuff with your coding though
