Retrieving info for playing events

[vectorunit]

With the Designer API we were able to query which events were currently playing at run-time (EventSystem::getInfo). This allowed us to visualize currently playing audio events within our 3d game world. I was not able to find a way to do this with the Studio API. Is it possible?

You can iterate the loaded banks with:

• System::getBankCount
• System::getBankList

Then you can iterate the event descriptions with:

• Bank::getEventCount
• Bank::getEventList

Once you have events, you can find out what instances are playing with:

• EventDescription::getInstanceCount
• EventDescription::getInstanceList

That will give you the instances which exist. You can query information about each instance, such as EventInstance::getPlaybackState for whether it is playing, stopping, or stopped.

Perfect, thanks! Works great.
