Character gets occluded by the environment

[SundarakrishnanN]

Short description
Sometimes the obstacles covers the player and hence the player is not seen in the camera(cinemachine) and instead only the obstacle is seen,...

Expected behaviour
The expected result is to view the player at all times and even if there are obstacles we should view our player only...The cinemachine must align itself in such a way that the player is seen instead of obstacles..

Fix
The fix for the bug is simple, and I downloaded a clone of the project and fixed it..I would love to fix it officially on the original project with your permission..Hoping for a reply if I can implement the same...
Notes

Above are two screen shots to demonstrate the bug..As you can see in the screen shots , the player is not seen as it is covered by the obstacles...I would be very glad to fix the bug in the original version with your permission..

Hi, I think it's a valid bug even though I was hoping to fix it later once we know better how the environment looks like. I think there's no way to fix it, but rather you change the behaviour of the camera.

So for now I think we should leave it open and come back to this later.
I also changed the title of the issue, the previous one (Bug In The Cine-machine Controller) wasn't descriptive of what the bug actually is.

Out of curiosity, what would be your solution?

I can throw in a couple of random ideas in case where moving the camera isn't an option:

Options 1:

Make any object that obscures the view of the player character slightly transparent.

Options 2:

Have the game render a silhouette of the player character through the objects that obscure him.

For a reference here's a screenshot of a game called Overwatch where a character is using an ability which allows her to see enemies (The red silhouettes) through walls.

Another solution could be Cinemachine Collider extension.
It will however affects the camera behavior (but it is pretty common in 3rd person platformer games).

I would like to help fix this issue using a dynamic system that works with any type of environment.

Hi,
My solution would be to use the extension(Cine-machine Collider) and I would tweak a few values in the same(to make it better and smooth).
I have tried the same in the clone of the project and it is working fine.....I would like to do it sir....A lot of them are also volunteering to solve the bug, but I would like to solve this bug... A lot of requirements in the game, doesn't seem that suited to me...Hence, I searched if there was any bug which I could solve and I found this.. I would be glad to show a fix to this bug(which is perfectly of my level, compared to other required tasks right now).Also I will look into other possible solutions until I receive
a reply.(but the above mentioned method would be my preferred solution) Hoping for a reply on whom the project is assigned...
Thank you,

Hey @SundarakrishnanN how familiar are you with working collaboratively on projects like this? You can always open a PR with your changes so people can comment on your solution even if it isn't meant to get in right away. Feel free to ping me if you wanna talk about it.

Hi, @Sposito I am not at all familiar with working on GitHub...So could you please help me out with how I can implement the changes on the original version...I downloaded a clone of the project and I fixed it...There were no changes to the scripts, there were changes to the values in the Cine-machine.. Please help me out in proceeding further..
Thank you

This would be my way of fixing this issue as well

Hey @megatank58 , I have fixed this issue in a clone of the project but since I am not yet assigned by unity,I am not sure how I can implement the changes in the official project(I am new to GitHub, I would be glad if someone helped me by explaining about GitHub and how I can implement the changes done in the clone of the project in the official version)..
Thank you
