I’m working on a “dye and retry” kind of game, coded in blueprints, and at the moment we reload the level at each death. Which means the level is destroyed and recreated, thus I need some persistent data, which has to be stored in the game instance. Storing a FMOD event instance in the game instance works well and plays the music continuously across level reload. But the problem is that I need to use callbacks, **and callbacks are only available on FMOD components, and components are only available on actors, and actors are (by definition) placed in a level. So when the level is reloaded, the FMOD component is destroyed.**  
To summarize, it seems impossible to have a persistent FMOD event instance **with** callbacks…

Did I missed something? Is there a workaround? Maybe is it possible to retrieve FMOD callbacks from a C++ class, which is not an actor? (since actors are automatically affected to a map and destroyed with it)
