Some properties cannot be set with WAAPI command setProperty?

Question

Hi, I'm running into an issue when I don't get a response from Wwise when I issue the WAAPI command "setProperty" on the following properties:

• BypassEffect (RandomSequenceContainer)
• GameAuxSendHPF (RandomSequenceContainer)
• MidiKeyFilterMin (RandomSequenceContainer)
• MidiKeyFilterMax (RandomSequenceContainer)
• MidiVelocityFilterMin (RandomSequenceContainer)
• MidiVelocityFilterMax (RandomSequenceContainer)
• MidiChannelFilter (RandomSequenceContainer)
• IsVoice (Sound)
• HdrEnvelope (AudioSource)
• UseGameAuxSends (ActorMixer)

All other properties can be successfully set.  Are certain properties not able to be set with setProperty?  If so, how can I tell or check for that?

 

I'm also getting the same behavior with setReference on the "DefaultSwitchOrState" property.  Do these properties require special handling?

 

I am using WAAPI version 2017.2.5

 

Thanks!

bump - hoping someone who might have more experience working with these properties and reference via WAAPI can help out.  Thanks!

Hi Michelle, 

• For BypassEffect, we were able to reproduce the issue. Thank you for reporting the issue. (WG-40638)

• For MidiKeyFilterMin, MidiKeyFilterMax, MidiVelocityFilterMin , MidiVelocityFilterMax please try with a number from  0 to 127. It worked correctly here. Example: https://gist.github.com/decasteljau/b277cb9fdb1503f3369a5f66782cf148

• MidiChannelFilter , the value is a bitmask with value from 0 to 65535. It worked correctly here.

• IsVoice: This is a current limitation. It is not possible  to IsVoice. IsVoice can only be set at the importation of the WAV file.

• HdrEnvelope : This property is only there to store the curve, when the HDR envelope is modified. It can't be set to any value.

• UseGameAuxSends : works here. Can you provide your code?

Hi,

I am now using Wwise version 2018.1.5, but some extra properties are hanging on the setProperty or setReference WAAPI call.

- Effect0 (VO)
- MarkerInputMode (SFX)
- 3DPosition
- CrossfadeDuration (VO)
- CrossfadeShape (VO)
- FadeOutDuration (VO)
- ChannelConfigOverride (VO)

Are these properties not supported in this version?  Or does it matter which order these are set in?

Thanks!

Effect0 is a property of type "reference", you need to set it with setReference
Ex: https://gist.github.com/decasteljau/6060df1eb419d844ea0fde6d45b0e7f4

3DPosition is working here:
https://gist.github.com/decasteljau/ede0123f1e7aa7746df5d1dc8370a566

These properties are available on the AudioSource object, not on the Sound object directly:
- MarkerInputMode
- CrossfadeDuration (VO)
- CrossfadeShape (VO)
- FadeOutDuration (VO)
- ChannelConfigOverride (VO)
