# Impulse
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cinemachine Impulse generates and manages camera shake in response to game events. For example, you can use Impulse to make a Cinemachine Virtual Camera shake when one GameObject collides with another, or when something in your Scene explodes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Impulse has two parts:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**1. [Impulse Source](CinemachineImpulseSourceOverview.md)**: a component that emits a signal that originates at a point in space and propagates outwards, much like a sound wave or a shock wave. This emission is triggered by events in the game.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The signal consists of a direction, and a curve specifying the strength of the signal as a function of time. Together, these effectively define a shake along a specified axis, lasting a specified amount of time. This shake travels outward from the point of origin, and when it reaches the location of an Impulse Listener, that listener can respond to it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**2. [Impulse Listener](CinemachineImpulseListener.md)**: a Cinemachine extension that allows a Virtual Camera to “hear” an impulse, and react to it by shaking.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It’s useful to think about this in terms of individual “impulses.” An impulse is a single occurrence of an Impulse Source emitting a signal. Collisions and events in your Scenes _trigger_ impulses, Impulse Sources _generate_ impulses, and Impulse Listeners _react_ to impulses.

## Getting started with Impulse
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To set up and use Impulse in a Scene, do the following:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Add **[Cinemachine Impulse Source](CinemachineImpulseSource.md)** or **[Cinemachine Collision Impulse Source](CinemachineCollisionImpulseSource.md)** components to one or more GameObjects that you want to trigger camera shake.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Add a **[Cinemachine Impulse Listener](CinemachineImpulseListener.md)** extension to one or more Cinemachine virtual cameras so they can detect and react to impulses.
