Hi, how are you?

I created an event with 1 sustain point (a simple cast/release).  
This sustain point has a parameter called player\_movement\_end that is discrete, and is 0 or 1.  
It starts at 0, indicating that the player is moving (cast). When it goes to 1 (release), the player starts stopping and the event finishes playing the rest.

But, when the event ends, the parameter doesn’t go back to 0 on a new playback.  
Can I reset this parameter somehow? I tried Command Instrument but it didn’t work…

Sorry for this novice question, and thanks in advance! 😃

It doesn’t reset in fmod studio, but it will be reset on a new event instance in game.

Ohhh I understand! I’ll keep it in mind when implementing into game.  
Thank you very much for the help, Alciblade!

Hello, I have a similar issue, but in my case the event must be attached to a blueprint (its a continuous loop of drawing that needs to be stopped once the drawing button is released, and the “stop” parameter should be reset to 0 each time the player starts drawing), so I have to use the “Play Event Attached” node in unreal which doesn’t have an event instance return. Is there any solution to this? Thank you

Hi,

You could use the [Set Parameter](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/blueprint-reference-component.html#set-parameter) node in the blueprint to assign the correct value. Here is an example of setting a parameter when the event is not playing:

If this is not the functionality you are looking for could I get some more info?
