One issue we’re facing is our musician is naming the params, but in the cpp API params can only get set by index. I understand this is a feature that is being considered, but in the meantime is there a way to know what index each named param is? I can pull up a list of all params but is has all the params in the project so I don’t know where to start counting, plus the might get sorted differently.

I mean the value of the param, not the param name.

Or you talking about labeled parameters? With the latest release you can set them using string values: [https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.02&page=studio-api-eventinstance.html#studio\_eventinstance\_setparameterbynamewithlabel](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.02&page=studio-api-eventinstance.html#studio_eventinstance_setparameterbynamewithlabel)
