Using addGameParameter, I'm missunderstanding the docs

FMOD Studio

I’m trying to set up an event with a parameter, and am using the details from the docs at
https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/scripting-api-reference-project.html#parameterdefinition

setting the parameter definition like this:

var trackname = "Track1";    
var datetime = new Date().toJSON().slice(0,19).toString().replace(":", "");
var newEvent = studio.project.create( "Event" );
newEvent.name = trackname + " " + datetime;
newEvent.folder = studio.project.workspace.masterEventFolder;
studio.window.navigateTo(newEvent);
var _min = 0;
var _max = 6; //this is a calculated value in my actual script

console.log("Setting " + trackname + "Vol" + " min:" + _min + ", max: " + _max);

//add in a  parameter to drive volume
var volParam = newEvent.addGameParameter({ 
            name: trackname + "Vol", 
            type: studio.project.parameterType.UserDiscrete, 
            min: _min, 
            max: _max 
        });

this ends up with a parameter with it’s min and max both set to 0. I’m unable to set the min and max values.
If I edit the preset child I seem to get the right outcome,

volParam.preset.minimum = _min;
volParam.preset.maximum = _max;
volParam.preset.initialValue = 1;

Which feels like its not the right way to go about this, from how the docs are showing the objects.

thanks for any help

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I have been able to reproduce the issue and will pass it on to our development team to look into it further.

In the meantime, your workaround is a valid option. Once there are updates I will post them here.
