Inclusion

Determines whether the element is included or excluded. When selected, the element is included. When unselected, the element is not included. By default, this applies across all platforms. Use the Link indicator (to the left of the check box) to determine or to set platform-specific customizations.

When this option is unselected, the property and behavior options in the Property Editor become unavailable.

Name

The name of the object.

Notes

Any additional information about the object properties.

Controls the Mute and Solo states for the object and shows the implicit mute and solo states for the object.

Muting an object silences this object for the current monitoring session. Soloing an object silences all the other objects in the project except this one.

A bold M or S indicates that the Mute or Solo state has been explicitly set for the object. A non-bold M or S with faded color indicates that the object's Mute or Solo state was implicitly set from another object's state.

Muting an object implicitly mutes the descendant objects.

Soloing an object implicitly mutes the sibling objects and implicitly solos the descendant and ancestor objects.

	Tip
	Hold the Ctrl key while clicking a solo button to exclusively solo the object for which the solo button is associated.

	Note
	Mute and Solo are designed to be used for monitoring purposes only and are not persisted in the project or stored in the SoundBanks.

Playback Limit

Ignore parent

Determines if the current object and its children are considered part of the parent's playback limit (unchecked) or defined at this level (checked). If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Limit sound instances to:

The number of sound or motion instances within the same hierarchical structure that can play simultaneously. This limit applies to the selected list option:

When limit is reached:

Determines what happens when the playback limit is reached. You can select one of the following options:

When priority is equal:

Determines what happens when the playback limit is reached and there is more than one object with the lowest priority. You can select one of the following options:

Virtual voice

Override parent

Determines whether the virtual voice settings will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the virtual voice controls are unavailable.

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Virtual voice behavior

Determines the behavior of objects when their volume falls below the volume threshold or when their number goes over the playback limit. You can select one of the following options:

On return to physical voice

	Note
	These options are only available if the Send to virtual voice option is enabled.

Determines the behavior of objects that move from the virtual voice list back to the physical voice.

Playback Priority

Override parent

If the object is a top-level object, this option is unavailable.

Determines whether the Playback Priority will be inherited from the parent or defined at the current level in the hierarchy. When this option is not selected, the Playback Priority controls are unavailable.

Priority

Objects with a priority of 1 have the lowest priority, and those with a priority of 100 have the highest priority.

Default value: 50 (for SFX), 100 (for Voice)
Range: 1 to 100

This value determines which objects will be played when the Playback Limit has been reached.

The importance given to the object in relation to other objects within the same Actor-Mixer structure.

Note

Using the built-in parameters to control an RTPC can lead to problems if that RTPC is tied to Initial Delay or Priority. Built-in parameters are computed when a sound plays on a given game object, so they work great for most sound properties. Logical control of playback items like Initial Delay and Priority are not suited while using the built-in parameters to control an RTPC since their value is unknown at the moment the Play Action is posted.

Offset priority by x at max distance

Specifies a value by which the priority of an object is offset when it reaches the max distance value specified in the Attenuation Editor.

When selected, an offset is applied to the priority of the object when it falls anywhere within the attenuation max distance value. The amount of offset applied will depend on the object's relative position to the listener.

When this option is not selected, the distance from the listener does not affect the priority of an object.

The priority offset is not applied to 2D objects.
