How can I set the Min Max Distances of all 3D Events to specific values by default? Is there a global setting?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is no default setting. However, I have created a Studio script that can be put into `C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\FMOD Studio\Scripts` which will set the values for all `3D` events:  
[SetDefaultDistances.txt](https://qa.fmod.com/uploads/short-url/61ptv0SO0e5ztUr4ZOE3YGyXaHB.txt). Just remember to change the extension to `.js` to use it.

Hope this helps!

And where is this on Mac, if someone can point me to it, please?

Hi,

On macOS it should be found here: `Macintosh HD > Users > XXX > Library > Application Support > FMOD Studio > Scripts`
