Dynamically assign name to event

Question

In Unity, how can I set the Name of an AkEvent in code? I'm trying to avoid manually creating a GameObject for each Event.

Hey Carlos, 

How would you like to set it? You could override the "Name: " (actually it's called data) property with a Wwise-Type Event, so you'll still be able to select the Event in the inspector of the script you're instantiating from. Something like this...

public AK.Wwise.Event WwiseTypeEvent;
void Awake(){
    AkEvent AkE = gameObject.AddComponent<AkEvent>();
    AkE.data = WwiseTypeEvent;
}

Let me know if this is what you need.

Hello Mads,

Thanks for your answer I'm trying to avoid setting the event on the inspector so I can use the same code for any event, I made it work using the following code:

AK.Wwise.Event soundEvent = new AK.Wwise.Event();
soundEvent.SetupReference("Attack", Guid.Empty);
soundEvent.Post(gameObject);

But I'm not sure if this is the best approach, I'm still new to Wwise in Unity.
