I am having an issue where the State's transition time keeps going back to 1 second from Alive to Defeated. I've tried restarting the program and it still won't save the transition time at 5 seconds. Anyone else having this issue?

yup same here. Did everything they did to the T.

I'm having issues in game (cube) confirming my work, with the defeated state not triggering upon being defeated. The heart beat just continues to play and doesn't fade out over the course of five seconds like it's supposed to. The profiler confirms it is not switching states either. But, everything triggers properly when confirming my work within the actual Wwise project. I've found a few old threads with many people having the same issues but they're all a year old or more, apparently this still seems to be an issue. I'm wondering if it's as simple as the container name being different in the code from what we're being told to use in the tutorial?

Did you figure it out? Similarly, I am having an in game (cube) problem with the heartbeat. At 100% health, the heartbeat sound triggers and re-triggers with each Gem Attack, doubling over itself, repeatedly. Sounds awful. It Just runs and seems to randomly stop after awhile. The capture log doesn't reference the heartbeat anywhere but the "Voices Graph" tab in the Advanced Profiler window shows the heartbeat sound firing At this point there are no enemies, so I am unsure why the heartbeat is sounding at all, let alone attached to the Gem attack. I don't know what I did wrong. The feet work just fine. I am also using the latest version of Wwise v_2022.1.8. Maybe that's part of it? Any ideas are welcome.

@@matthew_b_golden i originally started with the latest version as well, but due to the lack of quality tutorials and tutorials in general, i struggled immensely and switched to the 2021 version the tutorials are based on, so I'll be no help there. I was never able to figure out what i did wrong either, imo im pretty sure i didn't do anything wrong because i triple checked my work and redid the whole module very carefully and had the same issue. I said the heck with it and moved on to the next module they had for us, and it was fixed in that module 😑. I'm pretty sure it was something on their end but you never know. As for your issue, im a noob too and my best guess is the heartbeat is in the wrong container or something, i don't really know? Try loading up the the next module and work backwards and compare your work, that helps me from time to time.

@@1ofsolitude Thanks for the quick response! Yeah, I retraced my steps twice from half way through the module, just after the feet part, deleting all the heartbeat content, resulting in the same outcome. I am a noob at this software too. I will try form scratch, as you did, and see what happens. I also want to maintain the latest version for contextual real world use in 2023/2024. I hate to move on without knowing WHY this happened, though. This big gaping hole of "what the heck?", leaves me without peace of mind. But I hear you, you just have to move forward. Thanks again for the insight, much appreciated!

@@matthew_b_golden Same here. maybe you managed to find out why there was an error and you couldn't hear the Defeted voice fading out?

[@matthew_b_golden]

@@Adam-kf6wt I ended up deleting the whole folder of that lesson, reinstalling it, doing the lesson again, and then it worked. So, I never did figure out what went wrong in the end, unfortunately.
