There may be cases during the development of your project where you want to find all the elements in your project that contain direct references to a particular object. For example, you may want to find which Events reference a particular object or which SoundBanks reference a particular event. In Wwise, this is very easy using the Find all references command that is accessible from most of the right-click shortcut menus. All elements that reference a particular object are displayed in the Reference view, where you can easily open each project element, make changes, if necessary, and then move on.

Query |
|
|
In most cases, you will focus your search for references to one particular object, but you can also find all elements that reference a series of objects.
|
Note |
|---|---|
|
The reference list does not get updated automatically, so if changes are made to the project, you will need to update the reference list manually by clicking the Refresh button. |
To find project elements that reference a particular object:
-
Do one of the following:
Right-click a project element or selection of project elements and select Find all references from the shortcut menu.
Open the Reference view by pressing Shift+F3, and then drag one object or a selection of objects to the References to: field.
Open the Reference view by pressing Shift+F3, click the browse button beside the References to: field, select the project element, and then click OK.
Note If you press Shift+F3 while an object or element is selected in the Project Explorer, Property Editor, or the Reference View, Wwise automatically searches for objects that contain references to the selected object.
A list of project elements that contain a reference to the selected object(s) is displayed in the Reference view.
