Hi everyone! I’m sorry to bother you with such a noob question but I’ve been working on this all day and I couldn’t find any clues… So here is the situation : I’m working with FMOD 2 and Unreal 4. I’ve created a Scatterer instrument that triggers with a collision box. When the player goes out of t…

You would want to call stop on the event instance returned by Play Event 2D in this situation, i.e [image]

Hi Jeff! Thank you very much for the reply! Indeed, I learn today that I really need to be careful about the “nature” of what is returned by the function…I’ll be more careful next time! I learn as well that when an event is played, an “instance” of the event is created and if I want to act on it, …

[image] Mole: So potentially, I could call, let’s say, 3 “Play event 2D function” in the same Blueprint and they would return different instances of the sound…Which I could then manipulate individually…Am I correct?! That is correct. [image] Mole: I don’t really understand the Stop funct…

[image] Just adding on to this thread cause my event isn’t stopping like expected either To explain, the yellow nodes are supposed to stop the “Birds” event when the switch is hit. I know the switch is being hit because the Print Text node is triggering. I am pretty sure this is how I’ve always d…

[image] An image of the event in FMOD

Hi, What version of the FMOD integration are you using? Could you add the Event Instance Is Valid node: [image] To make sure there aren’t issues when trying to interact with the instance. Could you also set the Logging Level to Log [image] And let me know if there are any errors in the conso…

I have a similar issue. I’ve checked and it is returning true when the event is playing. I’ve been researching this and can’t find anything about it, the sound simply won’t stop playing. I’ve seen people mentioning setting a trigger condition of “not stopping” to the instrument itself, I tried it a…

Hi, Do you see any errors logged in the console?

Not when the event is meant to be stopping. If I keep retriggering it, it gives me the “LogFMOD: Warning: d:\jk\workspace\Build__2.2__Unreal_Win\core_api\src\fmod_systemi_update.cpp(577) - Channel 0x63600009 Stolen with audibility 0.447047” Otherwise, no errors.

Hi, Thanks for the info. Could you add the Event Instance Is Valid node before the stop node: [image] To make sure that there isn’t an issue with the instance that is being referenced. Is there any level loading happening between the event being played and stopped?

Hey, thank you for all your help. First of all, I did what you mentioned, and the Event Instance returned valid. However, I seem to have found a workaround for this issue. I’m not entirely sure why this is the case, but it seems to be caused by triggering the sound using the “Triggered” node of the…
