Do I need a custom camera view type for this?

[skinwalker]

Hello,

I'm currently using ThirdPersonCombat camera view type, but I'd like during dialogues/cutscenes to have these two camera options that the user can choose from:

1. A static camera that can show the characters from different angles (back, front side, top down) based on a button that you press (forward / backwards to loop through the different angles).
2. A free camera that flies around with WASD

In both cases the player's position and rotation won't be influenced by these cameras.

I'm wondering if this can be achieved with a custom view type or I need to have a second camera game object and my own scripts that handle these behaviors.

You can have a look at the Cinemachine integration, which might give you the required flexibility.

Cinemachine - Opsive

The Cinemachine ViewType allows the camera to be controlled by Unity’s Cinemachine. Cinemachine version 2.8 or later is required and the com.unity.cinemachine Assembly Definition Reference . . .
