Can you no longer reference an FMOD Event Asset inside the Level Blueprint in UE 5.6? One minute you can and then, it’s gone. In other words, recently I was able to ctrl+click in the Event Graph of the Level Blueprint and choose “Create a Reference To Explore” (Explore is the name of my FMOD event). Today, nothing. What’s going on?

Issue resolved. In order for “Create a Reference To Explore” to present itself, the actor `MUST` be selected in the level editor. So, to create the reference in the Level Blueprint, you must, firstly, have it selected – click on it – in the level editor. …… that was a long time, just to find out I had to click somewhere. Is this documented anywhere formally? Gemini certainly didn’t know about this tiny detail!

> 1. With the Actor in the level selected, click the **Blueprints** button from the Main Toolbar, then click **Open Level Blueprint**.
> 2. With the **Blueprint Editor** window open, **Right-click** in the graph window and select **Create a Reference to XXX**.
