Hello~  
You can check the child’s path in the studio, but you cannot check the child’s path in-game.  
The reason is that although you can call one of the children randomly, you also want to call it by specifying it.

No child events found in GUIDs.txt.

Is there a way to call child events directly in-game?

ex) event:/character/1004/cmd/attack/voc1

No child events found in GUIDs.txt.

A child/nested event can only be referenced by its parent event, and that it is routed solely into its parent event. You cannot play nested events directly in-game. If you want to play a child/nested event directly, independently from its parent event, you should turn it into a regular event instead.

Please see the section on [Nested Events](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/authoring-events.html#nested-events) in the Studio documentation for more information.
