Hello, excuse me if it´s a very noobie question but i´m learning to code. I have a Game menu wich i want some music to be played, but when the player presses Play button i want the music to be stopped. Thing is i´ve managed to start the sound but i can´t figure out how to stop it. Any help will be appreciated. This is the code: ```auto private void Start() { Overmind.Instance.LanguageChanged += RefreshLanguage; RefreshLanguage(Overmind.Instance.Language); var MM = RuntimeManager.CreateInstance("event:/Menú Principal"); MM.start(); MM.release(); } public void Click_Play() { Overmind.Instance.SoundManager.UIClick(); Game.NewGame(ECheckpoint.None); gameObject.SetActive(false); } ``` ---

Hi, no worries! What we will want to do is keep a reference to the [Event Instance](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-eventinstance.html) rather than just in the `Start()` function. Create a ```auto private FMOD.Studio.EventInstance MM; ``` variable. Then we will be able to assign the instance to it from `RuntimeManager.CreateInstance` while also being able to call in from the `public void Click_Play()` function. To aid with debugging I would also suggest learning about our [FMOD\_RESULT](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/core-api-common.html#fmod_result) which is returned from most of our functions. You can check the result using something like this: ```auto FMOD.RESULT result = MM.start(); if (result != FMOD.OK) { Debug.Log(result); } ``` Hope this helps! If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask. ---

Thank you for your reply!. Unfortunately it´s not working and Unity returns some errors. The code has been re-worked but still returns errors. The idea is playing menu music when players go the menu and, when they return to the area he´s located, the menu music stops and plays again the music of the area they are located, which leads me to another questions: Which command should i use regarding labeled parameters? Which code should i use to get variables from C# code in Unity to my FMOD events? This would be the new code to implement the instance: ```auto public void MenuMusic(bool shouldPlay) { switch (currentMusic) { case EMusic.Sand: if (shouldPlay) { //stop area music var MM = RuntimeManager.CreateInstance("event:/EL TERROR ERRANTE/Música/Menús/Menú_Pral"); FMOD.RESULT result = MM.start(); } else { RuntimeManager.PlayOneShot("event:/EL TERROR ERRANTE/Ambientes/Naturaleza/Desierto"); //play area music } break; case EMusic.Forest: if (shouldPlay) { //stop area Music } else { //play area music } break; case EMusic.BossApproach: if (shouldPlay) { //stop area Music } else { //play area music } break; case EMusic.Boss: if (shouldPlay) { //stop area Music } else { //play area music } break; } if (shouldPlay) { //play menu music } else { //stop menu music } } ``` Thank you in advance Best Regards ---

To set a labeled parameter you’d call [Studio::EventInstance::setParameterByNameWithLabel](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-eventinstance.html#studio_eventinstance_setparameterbynamewithlabel). > [@AntvilStudios](#): > > Which code should i use to get variables from C# code in Unity to my FMOD events? I am unsure what you mean by this, could you give me an example? You may be looking for [EventInstance::setParameterByName](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-eventinstance.html#studio_eventinstance_setparameterbyname). Thank you for the code example. The issue is possibly using a local parameter for your event instance. For example: ```auto if (shouldPlay) { //stop area music var MM = RuntimeManager.CreateInstance("event:/EL TERROR ERRANTE/Música/Menús/Menú_Pral"); FMOD.RESULT result = MM.start(); } ``` here, once you leave the if statement you lose reference to `MM` making it difficult to stop again. I would suggest making a [member variable](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VariablesAndTheInspector.html) for the event instance so you can reference it from anywhere in the `MenuMusic` function. Also, here you are correctly collecting the result of `MM.start()` but I would suggest checking the result with something like: ```auto if (result != FMOD.OK) { Debug.Log(result); } ``` Then you will get a console log with the error. Hope this helps! ---

Hi, sorry for the late response. > Blockquote > I have an event (a music box sound) which has 3 parameters: - Distance - Cone Angle - Elevation First two i am managing to obtain the values, although the third i am getting unreasonable values (the object is in the same horizontal plane as the main camera, and still getting negative values). This is important because depending on the values, the event will play differently or not play at all. I am using SetParameterByName to set the values, but the events are not working. In this point i don´t know if the emitters are not working or the code is plain wrong. This is the code for calculating parameters: ```auto //CALCULAR EL ÁNGULO CÓNICO BOSS public float CalculateConeAngle(GameObject emitter) { // Buscar la cámara por nombre Camera mainCamera = GameObject.Find("Camera").GetComponent(); // Verificar si la cámara fue encontrada if (mainCamera == null) { Debug.LogError("No se encontró la cámara con el nombre 'Camera' en la escena."); return 0f; // Retornar un valor por defecto } Vector3 listenerPosition = mainCamera.transform.position; // Dirección del emisor Vector3 emitterForward = emitter.transform.forward; // Dirección desde el emisor hacia el oyente (cámara principal) Vector3 directionToListener = (listenerPosition - emitter.transform.position).normalized; // Calcular el ángulo entre la dirección del emisor y la dirección hacia el oyente float angle = Vector3.Angle(emitterForward, directionToListener); return angle; } //CALUCULAR DISTANCIA public float CalculateDistance(GameObject emitter) { // Buscar la cámara por nombre Camera mainCamera = GameObject.Find("Camera").GetComponent(); // Verificar si la cámara fue encontrada if (mainCamera == null) { Debug.LogError("No se encontró la cámara con el nombre 'Camera' en la escena."); return 0f; // Retornar un valor por defecto } // Calcular la distancia entre el emisor y el oyente float distance = Vector3.Distance(emitter.transform.position, mainCamera.transform.position); return distance; } //CALCULAR ELEVACIÓN float CalculateElevation(GameObject emitter) { //GameObject emitter = GameObject.FindWithTag("Caja de Musica"); // Obtener la cámara principal como oyente Camera mainCamera = GameObject.Find("Camera").GetComponent(); // Posiciones del oyente y del emisor Vector3 listenerPosition = mainCamera.transform.position; Vector3 emitterPosition = emitter.transform.position; // Vector dirección desde el oyente hacia el emisor Vector3 direction = emitterPosition - listenerPosition; // Obtener la distancia horizontal (en el plano XZ) y la diferencia de altura float horizontalDistance = Mathf.Sqrt(direction.x * direction.x + direction.z * direction.z); float verticalDistance = direction.y; // Calcular el ángulo de elevación usando arctan2 float elevationAngle = Mathf.Atan2(verticalDistance, horizontalDistance) * Mathf.Rad2Deg; return elevationAngle; } ``` And this is the code to update the values ```auto public void Update() { // Actualizar los atributos 3D en cada frame para cada emisor Set3DAttributes(emitter1, musicBox); Set3DAttributes(emitter2, bossApproachMusic); // Calcular y establecer parámetros para el primer emisor float coneAngle1 = CalculateConeAngle(emitter1); float distance1 = CalculateDistance(emitter1); float elevationAngle = CalculateElevation(emitter1); musicBox.setParameterByName("ConeAngle", coneAngle1); musicBox.setParameterByName("Distance", distance1); musicBox.setParameterByName("Music Box Floor", elevationAngle); Debug.Log($"Elevación de la caja de música (emitter1) es: {elevationAngle}"); // Calcular y establecer parámetros para el segundo emisor float coneAngle2 = CalculateConeAngle(emitter2); float distance2 = CalculateDistance(emitter2); bossApproachMusic.setParameterByName("ConeAngle", coneAngle2); bossApproachMusic.setParameterByName("Distance", distance2); Debug.Log($"Distancia desde la caja de música al oyente: {distance1}"); Debug.Log($"Distancia desde el boss al oyente: {distance2}"); } ``` And finally the start () ```auto private void Start() { UpdateSoundSettings(); dialogueCallback = new EVENT_CALLBACK(DialogueEventCallback); //Set3DAttributes(); // Configurar los atributos 3D al inicio para cada emisor Set3DAttributes(emitter1, musicBox); Set3DAttributes(emitter2, bossApproachMusic); // Iniciar la reproducción del evento para cada emisor MusicBox.start(); bossApproachMusic.start(); } ``` I´ve placed the emitters in the gameObjects and i don´t know what i am doing wrong. Thank you in advance. ---

Thank you for the code and the images. > [@AntvilStudios](#): > > Sorry for the question: How can I do that ? No need to appoloies 🙂 The first thing we will want to fix up is choosing either to use the [Event Emitter](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/game-components.html#studio-event-emitter) or the [Event Reference](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/api-common.html#eventreference) you are calling in your script. Currently, you are playing the emitter while trying to access the event reference. These are two different things. I would suggest keeping the emitter and get a reference to its event instance with [StudioEventEmitter::EventInstance](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/api-studioeventemitter.html#studioeventemitter_eventinstance). This would look something like: ```auto public class SoundManager : MonoBehaviour { public static SoundManager Instance { get; private set; } EVENT_CALLBACK dialogueCallback; // ADD public StudioEventEmitter musicBoxEmitter; public StudioEventEmitter bossApproachEmitter; // REMOVE private EventInstance musicBox; private EventInstance bossApproachMusic; //--------------------------------------- //CHANGE public EventInstance CreateInstance(StudioEventEmitter emitter) { eventInstances.Add(emitter.EventInstance); return emitter.EventInstance; } ``` Now we are referencing the same instance as the emitter. Which should hopefully solve the setting and getting parameter issues. Let me know if this makes sense. > [@AntvilStudios](#): > > I don´t know how to do that, No worries, we talked about it already here: [Stop an instance in Unity - #2 by Connor\_FMOD](https://qa.fmod.com/t/stop-an-instance-in-unity/22010/2). Thank you for the integration version. That version was released over 2 years ago, would it be possible to update to a more recent version? We provide some scripting examples: [Unity Integration | Scripting Examples](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/examples.html), they may provide useful insights when working with the FMOD API. Hope this helps! ---

> [@Connor\_FMOD](#): > > ```auto > public EventInstance CreateInstance(StudioEventEmitter emitter) > { > eventInstances.Add(emitter.EventInstance); > return emitter.EventInstance; > } > > ``` Hi, the problem with replacing old code with that code is that all the instances independent of emitters stop playing. Also what would be the correct syntax? If i write this (EventInstance as _My instance_: **eventInstances.Add(musicBoxEmitter._My instance_)** return emitter._My instance_ It doesn´t work. Also i´m getting another errors like: [FMOD] Instance of Event event:/EL TERROR ERRANTE/Música/Music Box/Music Box has not had EventInstance.set3DAttributes() called on it yet! UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarningFormat (string,object) and [FMOD] FMOD\_OS\_Net\_Listen : Cannot listen for connections, port 9264 is currently in use. Best Regards ---

> [@AntvilStudios](#): > > the problem with replacing old code with that code is that all the instances independent of emitters stop playing. I see, maybe you could create an overload function. The important thing is getting the reference to the emitter event instance rather than creating a new one. > [@AntvilStudios](#): > > If i write this (EventInstance as _My instance_: > **eventInstances.Add(musicBoxEmitter._My instance_)** > return emitter._My instance_ Sorry, I am unsure what you are trying to do here. > [@AntvilStudios](#): > > [FMOD] Instance of Event event:/EL TERROR ERRANTE/Música/Music Box/Music Box has not had EventInstance.set3DAttributes() called on it yet! Please refer to this documentation: [Unity Integration | Scripting API Reference - RuntimeManager](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unity/api-runtimemanager.html#createinstance). > [@AntvilStudios](#): > > Cannot listen for connections, port 9264 is currently in use. This can be caused if multiple applications are trying to use the same port. Can you make sure there aren’t multiple FMOD systems running and try restarting your PC.
