I’ve replaced a oneshot with an event instance to control parameters but I can’t set the position of the sound the same way.  
How would I set my event.start the same way the commented out one shot is above?

```
  if(shootHit.collider.tag == "Metal")
            {

                          Debug.Log("metal was hit"); 
            //FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.PlayOneShot(metalHit, shootHit.transform.position);
            metalEvent.start();
```

Using [Set3DAttributes](https://www.fmod.org/docs/content/generated/FMOD_Studio_EventInstance_Set3DAttributes.html) or AttachInstanceToGameObject will update the events position.  
You can find an example of it here: [script\_example\_basic](http://www.fmod.org/documentation/#content/generated/engine_new_unity/script_example_basic.html)
