Can you add a spatializer to an existing 2D event?

Hi!

I already have all my events but I want to turn them all into 3D events instead of 2D events. Can this be done through the Scripting API?

Thanks,

function AddSpatializer()
{
    _event.addEffect("SpatialiserEffect")
}

studio.menu.addMenuItem({
    name: "***\\Add Spatializer",
    isEnabled: function() { var _event = studio.window.browserCurrent(); return _event && _event.isOfExactType("Event"); },
    execute: function() { AddSpatializer(); }
});

Hi,

Yes! You can, it will be a lot easier to do it in FMOD Studio using FMOD Studio | Bulk Editing Events. Select all your Events in Studio and right-click on the Deck, where to find the Deck in the Studio is explained in the Glossary, then add FMOD Spatializer. The Spatializer should then be added to all selected Events.

To add Spatializers through scripting add this script to the FMOD Directory e.g. C:\Program Files\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Studio 2.02.07\scripts

Add Spatializer 
// Adding menu option 
studio.menu.addMenuItem({
    name: "Add Spatializer",
    execute: function() { AddSpatializer();},
})

// Function to add Spatializers 
function AddSpatializer() {
    // Retrieve an array of all the events in our project 
    var allEvents = studio.project.model.Event.findInstances();

    for(var i=0; i < allEvents.length; i++) {
        // If the event already has a spatializer then skip it 
        if (allEvents[i].is3D() == true)
            continue; 
        else
            allEvents[i].masterTrack.mixerGroup.effectChain.addEffect("SpatialiserEffect");
    }
    // Print when it has run successfully 
    alert("Added Spatializer");
}

I hope this helps!
