I have a camer state change that I haved parented to an elevator via C# script.
The camera state is Fixed Point but the camera will not move with the elevator.
How do I get this work? I want a fixed point cam so user cannot move camera around and I have character controls disabled during the ride.
Thanks

In the CameraMode Fixed Point we have a option called "Static Camera", which will not look at the Player.
Check the vMansion for more examples of Fixed Point camera ;)

Yes I have that set already but the camera starts to follow as the elevator lowers but then raises back to its original Fixed Point instead of tracking with the elevator.
Imagine a camera in an elevator

At the end on the clip the cage goes down but then the camera it starts to drift up once the cage stops at a trigger point. As you can see the camera becomes parented to the cage mover object

It would probably be ideal to parent the LOOK POINTS but I dont an easy to access these by code ?

Hmm I think it's best if you don't parent the camera...

The character is also fixed so as to follow down the shaft
so as to view the inside during descent

Tharindu that is already how it is set. |

Its best to use cinemachine for this. otherwise you would have to use 2 cameras and switch on/off when you get in and get out

Why not just leave the camera in follow mode? then it will follow the character as the move down. Just change to a camera state that faces the character and has very tight follow conditions so it doesn't stray far from the character.

Take a look at my cinemachine tutorial if you don't know how to use it to drive invector cameras. Have a virtual camera inside the elavator looking at your character (LookAt target of the vcam that is). Have a trigger to simply change the priority of the vcam to a higher value as the elavator moves, change it back to 0 when your elavator stops. |

Oh I thought you wanted the camera to be static and just watch the elevator go down.
In this case, uncheck the static option and parent both player and camera to the elevator, it should work
