Cinemachine install error

Unity Courses Ask
#1

I need some help, when I install Cinemachine it does not show up anywhere and I get the following error:

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.cinemachine@2.7.9\Runtime\Helpers\CinemachineTriggerAction.cs(226,69): error CS1069: The type name ‘PlayableDirector’ could not be found in the namespace ‘UnityEngine.Playables’. This type has been forwarded to assembly ‘UnityEngine.DirectorModule, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ Enable the built in package ‘Director’ in the Package Manager window to fix this error.

I’ve looked this error up in Google but I can’t find any answers.

Hi Perhaps,

First of all, try to restart Unity if you haven’t already.

If the issue persists, please go to Edit > Preferences > External Tools and click “Regenerate project files”.

If that didn’t fix it either, remove the Cinemachine from your project via the Package Manager. Then install the Cinemachine again.

Did this solve the problem?

I tried this and I still get the error message, what is weird is that I can install cinemachine on other unity projects with the same version (2021.1.4f1) and cinemachine version 2.7.9 and it works perfectly.

#4

Maybe there is a bug in your version of Unity. That would explain why you don’t get this error in 2021.1.4f1.

The latest Cinemachine 2.x version seems to be 2.10.3. According to the error message you shared, you seem to use 2.7.9. Have you already tried to update the Cinemachine to 2.10.3?

#5

I don’t get an option to update it from the package manager menu, maybe there is another way to update that I don’t know of but it’s not a big deal as I implemented the cinemachine lesson to another one of my projects and the lecture did help :slight_smile:

#6

If you need a specific version but that version does not appear in the Package Manager, you could install it “by name”. Here is the official instruction:

Then go to this webpage:

And copy and paste the package name, for example, com.unity.cinemachine@2.10. If Unity complains because @2.10 is not supposed to be in the name, type 2.10 in the “Version (optional)” field.
