◆ PostEventSync()

virtual AkPlayingID AK::IAkGlobalPluginContext::PostEventSync ( AkUniqueID  in_eventID,
AkGameObjectID  in_gameObjectID,
AkUInt32  in_uFlags = 0,
AkCallbackFunc  in_pfnCallback = NULL,

AkUInt32  in_cExternals = 0,
AkExternalSourceInfo in_pExternalSources = NULL,
AkPlayingID  in_PlayingID = AK_INVALID_PLAYING_ID 
)
pure virtual

Synchronously posts an Event to the sound engine (by event ID). The callback function can be used to be noticed when markers are reached or when the event is finished. An array of wave file sources can be provided to resolve External Sources triggered by the event.

Returns
The playing ID of the event launched, or AK_INVALID_PLAYING_ID if posting the event failed
Remarks
This function executes the actions contained in the event without going through the message queue. In order to do so it acquires the global Wwise sound engine lock. It should therefore only be called from one of the global engine hooks (see AK::IAkGlobalPluginContext::RegisterGlobalCallback). Use AK::IAkGlobalPluginContext::GetIDFromString() if you use event names (strings).
