Refer to Using the Wwise Authoring API (WAAPI) for more information about Wwise Authoring API.
ak.soundengine.executeActionOnEvent
Executes an action on all nodes that are referenced in the specified event in a Play action. See AK::SoundEngine::ExecuteActionOnEvent.
ak.soundengine.getState
Gets the current state of a State Group. When using setState just prior to getState, allow a brief delay (no more than 10ms) for the information to update in the sound engine.
ak.soundengine.getSwitch
Gets the current state of a Switch Group for a given Game Object.
ak.soundengine.loadBank
Load a SoundBank. See AK::SoundEngine::LoadBank.
ak.soundengine.postEvent
Asynchronously post an Event to the sound engine (by event ID). See AK::SoundEngine::PostEvent.
ak.soundengine.postMsgMonitor
Display a message in the Profiler's Capture Log view.
ak.soundengine.postTrigger
Posts the specified Trigger. See AK::SoundEngine::PostTrigger.
ak.soundengine.registerGameObj
Register a game object. Registering a game object twice does nothing. Unregistering it once unregisters it no matter how many times it has been registered. See AK::SoundEngine::RegisterGameObj.
ak.soundengine.resetRTPCValue
Resets the value of a real-time parameter control to its default value, as specified in the Wwise project. See AK::SoundEngine::ResetRTPCValue.
ak.soundengine.seekOnEvent
Seeks inside all playing objects that are referenced in Play Actions of the specified Event. See AK::SoundEngine::SeekOnEvent.
ak.soundengine.setDefaultListeners
Sets the default active listeners for all subsequent game objects that are registered. See AK::SoundEngine::SetDefaultListeners.
ak.soundengine.setGameObjectAuxSendValues
Sets the Auxiliary Busses to route the specified game object. See AK::SoundEngine::SetGameObjectAuxSendValues.
ak.soundengine.setGameObjectOutputBusVolume
Set the output bus volume (direct) to be used for the specified game object. See AK::SoundEngine::SetGameObjectOutputBusVolume.

Sets a single game object's active listeners. By default, all new game objects have no listeners active, but this behavior can be overridden with SetDefaultListeners(). Inactive listeners are not computed. See AK::SoundEngine::SetListeners.
ak.soundengine.setListenerSpatialization
Sets a listener's spatialization parameters. This lets you define listener-specific volume offsets for each audio channel. See AK::SoundEngine::SetListenerSpatialization.
ak.soundengine.setMultiplePositions
Sets multiple positions for a single game object. Setting multiple positions for a single game object is a way to simulate multiple emission sources while using the resources of only one voice. This can be used to simulate wall openings, area sounds, or multiple objects emitting the same sound in the same area. See AK::SoundEngine::SetMultiplePositions.
ak.soundengine.setObjectObstructionAndOcclusion
Set a game object's obstruction and occlusion levels. This function is used to affect how an object should be heard by a specific listener. See AK::SoundEngine::SetObjectObstructionAndOcclusion.
ak.soundengine.setPosition
Sets the position of a game object. See AK::SoundEngine::SetPosition.
ak.soundengine.setRTPCValue
Sets the value of a real-time parameter control. See AK::SoundEngine::SetRTPCValue.
ak.soundengine.setScalingFactor
Sets the scaling factor of a game object. You can modify the attenuation computations on this game object to simulate sounds with a larger or smaller affected areas. See AK::SoundEngine::SetScalingFactor.
ak.soundengine.setState
Sets the State of a State Group. See AK::SoundEngine::SetState.
ak.soundengine.setSwitch
Sets the State of a Switch Group. See AK::SoundEngine::SetSwitch.
ak.soundengine.stopAll
Stop playing the current content associated to the specified game object ID. If no game object is specified, all sounds are stopped. See AK::SoundEngine::StopAll.
ak.soundengine.stopPlayingID
Stops the current content, associated to the specified playing ID, from playing. See AK::SoundEngine::StopPlayingID.
ak.soundengine.unloadBank
Unload a SoundBank. See AK::SoundEngine::UnloadBank.
ak.soundengine.unregisterGameObj
Unregisters a game object. Registering a game object twice does nothing. Unregistering it once unregisters it no matter how many times it has been registered. Unregistering a game object while it is in use is allowed, but the control over the parameters of this game object is lost. For example, say a sound associated with this game object is a 3D moving sound. It stops moving when the game object is unregistered, and there is no way to regain control over the game object. See AK::SoundEngine::UnregisterGameObj.
