Use a Room as a Reverb Zone. AK::SpatialAudio::SetReverbZone establishes a parent-child relationship between two Rooms and allows for sound propagation between them as if they were the same Room, without the need for a connecting Portal. Setting a Room as a Reverb Zone is useful in situations where two or more acoustic environments are not easily modeled as closed rooms connected by portals. Possible uses for Reverb Zones include: a covered area with no walls, a forested area within an outdoor space, or any situation where multiple reverb effects are desired within a common space. Reverb Zones have many advantages compared to standard Game-Defined Auxiliary Sends. They are part of the wet path, and form reverb chains with other Rooms; they are spatialized according to their 3D extent;
they are also subject to other acoustic phenomena simulated in Wwise Spatial Audio, such as diffraction and transmission. A parent Room may have multiple Reverb Zones, but a Reverb Zone can only have a single Parent. If a Room is already assigned to a parent Room, it will first be removed from the old parent (exactly as if AK::SpatialAudio::RemoveReverbZone were called) before then being assigned to the new parent Room. A Room can not be its own parent. The Reverb Zone and its parent are both Rooms, and as such, must be specified using AK::SpatialAudio::SetRoom. If AK::SpatialAudio::SetReverbZone is called before AK::SpatialAudio::SetRoom, and either of the two rooms do not yet exist, placeholder Rooms with default parameters are created. They should be subsequently parameteized with AK::SpatialAudio::SetRoom.

To set which Reverb Zone a Game Object is in, use the AK::SpatialAudio::SetGameObjectInRoom API, and pass the Reverb Zone's Room ID. In Wwise Spatial Audio, a Game Object can only ever be inside a single room, and Reverb Zones are no different in this regard.

Note: The automatically created 'outdoors' Room is commonly used as a parent Room for Reverb Zones, since they often model open spaces. To attach a Reverb zone to outdoors, pass AK::SpatialAudio::kOutdoorRoomID as the in_ParentRoom argument. Like all Rooms, the 'outdoors' Room can be parameterized (for example, to assign a reverb bus) by passing AK::SpatialAudio::kOutdoorRoomID to AK::SpatialAudio::SetRoom.
