Hello. I already know I don’t need any programming knowledge to work within Fmod, but when I’m putting events inside the engine (in UE4, for example) that have automated parameters via Fmod, how the hell do I link those parameters to actual stuff in the game’s project? For example, how do I make another instrument trigger when health drops below 50? This might be a very silly question, but it’s been boggling my mind for a while now. Do I need to study Fmod API for that?

You should be able to set parameters without prior knowledge of the FMOD Studio API.

Have you read the [Parameter Track](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-ue4?version=2.1&page=user-guide.html#parameter-track) section of the [FMOD UE4 Integration User Guide](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-ue4?version=2.1&page=user-guide.html)? It describes how you can create parameter tracks and use keyframes to control them via the [Sequencer](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Sequencer/Overview/index.html).

There are also graph functions that you can use to set the value of parameters in blueprints.

Hi Joseph, no I haven’t, I’ll read that! Thank you!
