Triggering a sound event from regular code

Hi, we are wondering how we can trigger a Wwise event from a regular piece of code (not template, not animation related, no using simvars, etc).

It is possible?

Define a "regular piece of code": XML, JS, WASM?

We have found many examples of how to execute an event wwise, but all of them are linked with a button, switch, knob, etc. In this case we need to execute the wwise event when a set of conditions given by the state of the variables are met. Is it possible to do that?

Yea as mentioned below SimVarSounds allows you to trigger a sound event based on the output of a SimVar or LVar

Hello @NandoHer and @gonzalofrv

You can use SimVarSounds for this and use your own local var

Hello @NandoHer and @gonzalofrv

I forgot about it but you also have the W event you can use in RPN code.
Reverse Polish Notation (flightsimulator.com)

You just have to call this event using the wwise event name and pass 0/1 to disable/enable it.

Sylvain
