Renaming an Event

Wwise automatically gives a name to an Event when it is created. It is good practice to rename the Event with a name that is more descriptive. Each Event name must be unique and consist only of letters, digits, and underscores. The first character must also be either a letter or an underscore.

Unless absolutely necessary, you shouldn't rename an Event after it has been integrated into the game because it will require additional programming.

To rename an event:

  1. In the Event Editor, click in the Name field.

    The name of the Event is highlighted.

  2. Type a new name for the Event.

[Note]Note

You can also rename Events in the Events tab of the Project Explorer.
