Custom Properties Tab

	The Custom Properties tab is part of a legacy method
	The descriptions for this tab represent the legacy method for defining custom properties. The more recent and powerful method for defining custom properties uses XML files, and is described in the SDK doc's Defining Custom Properties page. While both approaches are still valid, refer to SDK documentation to learn more about it.

In the Custom Properties tab of the Project Settings dialog box, you can define your own properties for the Sound and Audio Source objects of the Actor-Mixer Hierarchy. These custom properties can then be accessed from the following locations:

It is also possible for the game to query the value of these properties. Changing the Custom Property list will force a save and reload of the Wwise Project.
