Hi everyone, I was looking the documentation, but there are a lot of things that I don’t understand what they mean, like the events, I would like a document similar to this but for fmod:

Is there any place where I can find it?

I’d try the YouTube tutorials for your engine of choice and the FMOD specific ones too, that’s how I got started. They are really good and when starting from the beginning will explain the basic concepts which you understandably want to grasp.

Stick with it!

If you install the tool under the help menu you’ll find the item _Getting Started Guide_.

It mixes explanations of concepts like “what is an event” with practical tutorials, so it’s not quite the same as the link you posted, but it’s our best equivalent.
