These tutorials require the default installations of Wwise and Unreal 5. Although there are no tutorial-specific supplementary materials available, the Integration Demo Wwise sample project contains a variety of sounds and music that you can use for most of the examples. The Integration Demo is included with the Wwise SDK, which you can add to your installation through the Audiokinetic Launcher. For details, see Integration Demo Sample.

前提要求

Before you begin the tutorials, review the following prerequisites and ensure that all necessary setup is complete:

• In Unreal, create a project with the Third Person game template, with a C++ Project Default (the Wwise Unreal 集成 does not support Blueprint-only projects). For more information, refer to Creating a New Project and Third Person Template.
• 按照安装和构建插件中所述安装 Wwise Unreal 插件。
• Enable Auto-Defined SoundBanks in your Wwise project. See Automatically Defining SoundBanks for more information.

Required Unreal Knowledge

Before you begin to integrate audio in Unreal, we strongly recommend that you have a working knowledge of Unreal 5 game development. Review the following sections in the Unreal documentation in particular:

• Level Editor: The Level Editor is the initial layout that appears when you open Unreal. You use it to manage your assets: place sounds in the level, create new sounds, and so on. It is also the view from which you open other views, such as the Blueprint Editor.
• Actors, Components, and Blueprints: In Unreal, every object in your level is an Actor. There are different types of Actor, and Actors can have components that define what they do. For example, an Actor can have a Mesh that you can use as a Trigger to define areas in which a certain ambience plays. You can use Blueprints to design systems, and add them to Actors as well. Within these systems, you can reference your Actor’s components so that, for example, an ambience starts to play when something enters your Trigger area.

TIP： When you generate SoundBanks, a notification appears and plays a sound. Depending on the level of your own sound integration, the sound might be quite loud, but you can disable it. To do so, go to Edit > Editor Preferences. Under Level Editor, click Miscellaneous and clear Enable Editor Sounds.
