I'm working through the lessons for the Wwise-101 certification and have come across errors related to the steps found in Lesson 6 > Working With States. I am using the Mac version of the Wwise software—Wwise 2016 Version 1.0.22.
First error:
I was able to add the state group ("PlayerLife") by double-clicking on the channel ("Environmental") and adding the state via the "Add >>" selector. I can see the states ("Alive" and "Dead") under the state group. However when I go back to the Mixing Desk and select either Alive or Dead in the "Editing States" window at the top, the parameters under the PlayerLife state remain greyed out, preventing me from making any changes. I am able to resolve this by going back into the floating Environmental Bus Property Editor window and adjusting any level there. Once I do that, if I go back to the Mixing Desk, the state values (e.g. Bus Volume) are active and can be changed.
Second Error:
According to #5 on this document, when the state is changed in the "Editing States" panel at the top of the Mixing Desk, the values on the channel strip should change accordingly. However, when I change the state value in the dropdown menu, nothing changes in the channel strip in the Mixing Desk window.
These errors do not affect the functionality of the states in the Soundcaster window below. In that window, I am able to change the states of an event and hear the result just fine. "Follow States" and "Push States" in the "Editing States" window at the top also seem to be working fine.
