Hi all!

I was wondering if there is an elegant way to create shortcuts or macros for repetitive actions like selecting audio assets and creating 3D timeline events with multi-instruments containing the selected asset? I am not a coder, but I presume a .js script could do that? Has anyone already made them, by any chance?

I find in tedious to have to right click so much and stuff…

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately, we do not have a way to create custom macros.

We do have a context menu for creating some default events from within the Asset Browser:

I have also made a script for that behavior:  
[Create3DMultiEventMacro.js.txt](https://qa.fmod.com/uploads/short-url/4J2GXDngzvh3Q6qCU96KgEAbGVc.txt) (1.9 KB)  
Remove the `.txt` and add it here:  
`C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\FMOD Studio\Scripts`  
This will make it available to all you Studio installs. It can be triggered with `Ctrl+H` or under the scripts menu:

Hope this helps!

Yes, that seems exactly what I was looking for. I will test it.

Thank you so much!
