How to ensure there is only one instance of my loop playing?

Question

 

If you play an ambient loop event, is there a way to tell Wwise to ignore the play event if it is called again by the code when the loop is already running?

Answer 1

 

• Open the sound in the Property Editor
• Go to Advanced Settings tab
• Set the Limit sound instance property

 

You can set it to Limit sound instance 1, Globally

Comments

It is also recommended to set the 'when priority is equal' behavior to 'discard newest instance' so as to not retrigger the loop if it's already playing.
