Functions

ak_soundengine_executeactiononevent
Execute an action on all nodes that are referenced in the specified event in an action of type play. See AK::SoundEngine::ExecuteActionOnEvent.

ak_soundengine_postevent
Asynchronously post an Event to the sound engine (by event ID). See AK::SoundEngine::PostEvent.

ak_soundengine_postmsgmonitor
Display a message in the profiler.

ak_soundengine_posttrigger
Post the specified Trigger. See AK::SoundEngine::PostTrigger.

ak_soundengine_registergameobj
Register a game object. Registering a game object twice does nothing. Unregistering it once unregisters it no matter how many times it has been registered. See AK::SoundEngine::RegisterGameObj.

ak_soundengine_resetrtpcvalue
Reset the value of a real-time parameter control to its default value, as specified in the Wwise project. See AK::SoundEngine::ResetRTPCValue.

ak_soundengine_seekonevent
Seek inside all playing objects that are referenced in Play Actions of the specified Event. See AK::SoundEngine::SeekOnEvent.

ak_soundengine_setdefaultlisteners
Set a the default active listeners for all subsequent game objects that are registered. See AK::SoundEngine::SetDefaultListeners.

ak_soundengine_setgameobjectauxsendvalues
Set the Auxiliary Busses to route the specified game object. See AK::SoundEngine::SetGameObjectAuxSendValues.

ak_soundengine_setgameobjectoutputbusvolume
Set the output bus volume (direct) to be used for the specified game object. See AK::SoundEngine::SetGameObjectOutputBusVolume.

ak_soundengine_setlisteners
Set a single game object's active listeners. By default, all new game objects have no listeners active, but this behavior can be overridden with SetDefaultListeners(). Inactive listeners are not computed. See AK::SoundEngine::SetListeners.

ak_soundengine_setlistenerspatialization
Set a listener's spatialization parameters. This lets you define listener-specific volume offsets for each audio channel. See AK::SoundEngine::SetListenerSpatialization.

ak_soundengine_setmultiplepositions
Set multiple positions for a single game object. Setting multiple positions for a single game object is a way to simulate multiple emission sources while using the resources of only one voice. This can be used to simulate wall openings, area sounds, or multiple objects emitting the same sound in the same area. See AK::SoundEngine::SetMultiplePositions.

ak_soundengine_setobjectobstructionandocclusion
Set a game object's obstruction and occlusion levels. This function is used to affect how an object should be heard by a specific listener. See AK::SoundEngine::SetObjectObstructionAndOcclusion.

ak_soundengine_setposition
Set the position of a game object. See AK::SoundEngine::SetPosition.

ak_soundengine_setrtpcvalue
Set the value of a real-time parameter control. See AK::SoundEngine::SetRTPCValue.

ak_soundengine_setscalingfactor
Set the scaling factor of a game object. Modify the attenuation computations on this game object to simulate sounds with a larger or smaller area of effect. See AK::SoundEngine::SetScalingFactor.

ak_soundengine_setswitch
Set the State of a Switch Group. See AK::SoundEngine::SetSwitch.

ak_soundengine_stopall
Stop playing the current content associated to the specified game object ID. If no game object is specified, all sounds will be stopped. See AK::SoundEngine::StopAll.

ak_soundengine_stopplayingid
Stop the current content, associated to the specified playing ID, from playing. See AK::SoundEngine::StopPlayingID.

ak_soundengine_unregistergameobj
Unregister a game object. Registering a game object twice does nothing. Unregistering it once unregisters it no matter how many times it has been registered. Unregistering a game object while it is in use is allowed, but the control over the parameters of this game object is lost. For example, say a sound associated with this game object is a 3D moving sound. It will stop moving when the game object is unregistered, and there will be no way to regain control over the game object. See AK::SoundEngine::UnregisterGameObj.

ak_wwise_core_audio_import
Create Wwise objects and import audio files. This function is using the same importation processor available through the Tab Delimited import in the Audio File Importer. See ak.wwise.core.audio.importTabDelimited. The function returns an array of all objects created, replaced or re-used. Use the options to specify how the objects are returned.

ak_wwise_core_audio_importtabdelimited
Scripted object creation and audio file import from a tab-delimited file.

ak_wwise_core_audiosourcepeaks_getminmaxpeaksinregion
Get the min/max peak pairs, in a given region of an audio source, as a collection of binary strings (one per channel). The strings are base-64 encoded 16-bit signed int arrays, with min and max values being interleaved. If getCrossChannelPeaks is true, there will be only one binary string representing peaks across all channels globally.

ak_wwise_core_audiosourcepeaks_getminmaxpeaksintrimmedregion
Get the min/max peak pairs in the entire trimmed region of an audio source, for each channel, as an array of binary strings (one per channel). The strings are base-64 encoded 16-bit signed int arrays, with min and max values being interleaved. If getCrossChannelPeaks is true, there will be only one binary string representing peaks across all channels globally.

ak_wwise_core_getinfo
