Modules
The heartbeat sound configured in modules 5 and 6 is affected by both an RTPC—the player's health, and a State—whether the player is alive or defeated. Seeing both the RTPC and State implementation simultaneously would be helpful. You'll rearrange the Designer layout to make this possible.
-
Run Cube so you can connect to it later.
-
Launch Wwise and open a project file. Make sure you open the Module 7 project file.
-
In the Project Explorer, expand the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy > Default Work Unit, and then select the Heartbeat Sound SFX.
-
In the primary editor, select the States tab, and then click the Open in New Window button.
The States tab opens in a separate window.
-
In the primary editor, select the RTPC tab.
Now you can see both the States and RTPC properties for the heartbeat at the same time, but they're in two different windows. You'll dock the floating Heartbeat - States tab in the Designer layout so you can see all the information you need in one window.
-
Drag the floating Heartbeat - States tab onto the main Wwise window. As you drag, possible docking locations are indicated in blue. Release the tab at the top of the primary editor as shown.
-
Drag the dividers between the views and panes to resize them as necessary.
When you're done working on the heartbeat sound, there's an easy way to restore the original Designer layout.
-
From the menu bar, click Layouts > Reset Factory Layout.
-
In the dialog that opens, select Select All and then click Reset Layouts. Click Yes to confirm the change.
