FWaveInstance

Structure encapsulating all information required to play a [USoundWave](API\Runtime\Engine\Sound\USoundWave) on a channel/source.

Syntax

struct FWaveInstance

Remarks

Structure encapsulating all information required to play a USoundWave on a channel/source. This is required as a single USoundWave object can be used in multiple active cues or multiple times in the same cue.
