Sorry to put a question so soon again, but I’m enthusiastically implementing FMOD. What is the fastest way to get an event from the pool? In my case entities ussually request a specific sound effect on the fly and play it once somewhere in 3D space.

The examples ussually show something like this:
eventSystem->getEvent( <name>, FMOD_EVENT_DEFAULT, &object[x].event );

However, I guess FMOD first has to search for the event with that given name. Isn’t it possibly to directly access without searching? For example, by storing the handle/pointer/index on the user side? So far I’ve seen the "eventSystem->getEventBySystemID( ID, …. )" method. That works, but maybe there are other ways as well?

Regards

Saw that being used in the demo’s indeed. However, you also need the group object in that case. Not that it’s a real problem, but sound in my case ussually gets triggered by (Python)scripts that doesn’t have a direct connection with the FMOD system. Scripts ussually get the sound "handle" when initializing. After that, a single handle value is used to play/trigger sounds. The less variables in the script, the better.

Thanks for helping
