I am trying to find all fmod events that are playing within a radius of the player in Unreal through C++. I am working on audio occlusion because the built in one with unreal is not the best. The only thing I was able to find was find event instance but you have to put in a specific even name. I need to find any event instance

Presuming you have a list of Actors containing event instances, I think you would just need to do a linear search for Actors with a Location within your player’s radius that return [`FMOD_STUDIO_PLAYBACK_PLAYING`](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.02&page=studio-api-common.html#fmod_studio_playback_state) from [`EventInstance::getPlaybackState`](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.02&page=studio-api-eventinstance.html#studio_eventinstance_getplaybackstate).
