Wwise Objects

Hierarchy box

Lists the selected Wwise object to display only notifications about it, its children, and related Events.

Opens the Project Explorer - Browser dialog box where you can select the object and any corresponding hierarchy to be included in the filter.

Include parents and busses

Will include the notifications for all the hierarchical parents of the selected object and all the busses the children may be routed to.

Include game object relations

Will include everything that occurs on the same game object as the selected object. For example, let's say that you have selected Sound A as the filtered object and it plays on a Game Object that already has Sound B playing. It will add all playback relations pertaining to Sound B on that Game Object in the Capture Log view.

Game object

Only displays entries that apply to specific game objects.
