Hi,  
I need to get length of a track (simple audio cues with voiceover). Some are played 2D, some are attached. But I fail to find a way to get length of a cue from any other than “Play Event Attached”.  
Play 2D for example, I can’t find a way to get this information. How can I get track length from Play 2D and At Location?  
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. I am attaching an image.

Hello, sorry to keep bumping this threat, but it seems like a very easy thing to do, though I am stuck on this for 3 days now. I simply can’t use fmod if this functionality is not there, though I would seriously prefer to do so :(. I’ve tried casting, tried creating a dummy play event attached that would just get the time of the event, but nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

An option to get the length from `Play event at Location` would be to use `Play Event Attached` passing in the Location in the drop-down parameters into the node.

Currently, there isn’t a workaround to get the length from `Play Event 2D`, I shall pass on this functionality to our dev team to look into further.

Apologies for the slow reply.
