Using the Wwise Authoring API in Wwise Plug-ins

Calling a remote procedure

The Wwise Authoring API can be used to issue remote procedure calls from within a Wwise plug-in using the AK::Wwise::Plugin::Host::WaapiCall() method. This method is provided by the Host component, which you can request by inheriting from AK::Wwise::Plugin::RequestHost.

Note: Calls to the AK::Wwise::Plugin::Host::WaapiCall() method are always blocking.

Utility classes are provided so that callers can provide a strategy for memory allocation. AK::Wwise::Mallocator offers a default implementation using functions from the C library, such as malloc, free and realloc. A custom strategy can easily be provided by defining a class that implements AK::IAkPluginMemAlloc. Finally, a wrapper class AK::Wwise::SafeAllocator is used to ensure type-safety and automatic memory management.

Examples:

#include <AK/Tools/Common/AkAllocator.h>
#include <rapidjson/document.h>
// Use the default allocation strategy for results and errors
AK::Wwise::Mallocator alloc;
AK::Wwise::SafeAllocator<char> szResults(&alloc);
AK::Wwise::SafeAllocator<char> szError(&alloc);
// Issue a remote procedure call to the Wwise Authoring API
m_host.WaapiCall("ak.wwise.core.getInfo", NULL, NULL, alloc, szResults, szError);
if (!szError)
{
// Parse the results JSON string
rapidjson::Document results;
results.Parse(szResults);
// ...
}
#include <AK/Tools/Common/AkAllocator.h>
#include <rapidjson/document.h>
#include <rapidjson/stringbuffer.h>
#include <rapidjson/writer.h>
// Use the default allocation strategy for results and errors
AK::Wwise::Mallocator alloc;
AK::Wwise::SafeAllocator<char> szResults(&alloc);
AK::Wwise::SafeAllocator<char> szError(&alloc);
// Build a JSON object that contains the procedure's parameters
rapidjson::Document args;
args.SetObject();
args.AddMember("classId", 8192003, args.GetAllocator());
args.AddMember("property", "ModDepth", args.GetAllocator());
// Stringify the JSON object
rapidjson::StringBuffer buffer;
rapidjson::Writer<rapidjson::StringBuffer> writer(buffer);
args.Accept(writer);
// Issue a remote procedure call to the Wwise Authoring API
m_host.WaapiCall("ak.wwise.core.plugin.getProperty", buffer.GetString(), NULL, alloc, szResults, szError);
if (!szError)
{
// Parse the results JSON string
rapidjson::Document results;
results.Parse(szResults);
// ...
}
Note: Here, RapidJSON is only used for demonstration purposes and is in no way mandatory.
