C# (WampSharp) - WAMP

Initializing the project

Note.gif

Note: This example requires Visual Studio 2017 with C# support and the NuGet package manager extension.

As of version 1.2.5.36-beta of WampSharp, you will need to add ws://127.0.0.1:8080 as an allowed origin if you are running the sample on the same computer as the Wwise Authoring application. To do so, go to Project > User Preferences... and add the address in the Allowed origins text box in the Wwise Authoring API section. Note that values are comma-separated.

To install dependencies, open the sample project <Wwise installation path>/SDK/samples/WwiseAuthoringAPI/cs/WaapiCS/WaapiCS.sln in Visual Studio 2017. Install dependencies by right-clicking on the solution and selecting Restore NuGet Packages.

To select the startup object, right-click on the WaapiCS project in the Solution Explorer and click on Properties. Then select the Application tab and under the section labeled Startup object, select WaapiCS.CallWwise.

Project Code

Locate the sample file <Wwise installation path>/SDK/samples/WwiseAuthoringAPI/cs/WaapiCS/CallWwise.cs.

This file contains the following code, which allows you to connect to the Wwise Authoring API.

Running the project

Build the solution (Ctrl+B) and run the sample using Visual Studio (F5).

The sample calls two methods: one to get general information from the Wwise Authoring Application and another to get the objects currently selected in the Application.

Observe messages printed in the output console. You should see something similar to:

Calling 'ak.wwise.core.getInfo'
Calling 'ak.wwise.ui.getSelectedObjects'
ak.wwise.core.getInfo: Hello Wwise v2017.1.1
ak.wwise.ui.getSelectedObjects: Got selected object data!
ak.wwise.ui.getSelectedObjects: Got 1 object(s)!
ak.wwise.ui.getSelectedObjects: The first selected object is 'New Sequence Container' ({03E8DC21-EB2F-4607-BFCC-25BCE69DFB27})
ak.wwise.ui.getSelectedObjects: Its parent is 'ParentA' ({FBB64B3C-711C-46E6-9BBC-B49511F08244})
Note.gif
Note: The information retrieved from Wwise, such as object IDs, will vary based on the project opened in the Wwise Authoring Application. If no selection exists, the following message will be displayed: ak.wwise.ui.getSelectedObjects: Select something and try again!
