Currently you do not have a problem with Dispatchers. You have a problem with passing object references - your missing pin. [HR][/HR]  
Since you have both objects in the Level Blueprint, you can use the LB as glue between them. Consider the following:

Actor A has an Event Dispatcher happy to send the data to whoever is listening:

Actor B has a Custom Event that is waiting for that data:

Currently those 2 objects do not know about one another’s existence. But the Level Blueprint knows about both so you can use it as glue:

 ![LB.PNG](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/1/d1c6605855278afa8f8a46e021b94fd89e736535.png)[HR][/HR]  
Or, you can use less glue like so:

 ![LBwithLessGlue.PNG](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/0/f09a80e58d9eab6008b7bac006b95e907caa027e.png)[HR][/HR]  
Regarding your original query.

You can, of course, provide Actor B with a direct reference to Actor A. In Actor B, create a variable of type Actor A and use the LB to set the variable:

 ![WhatsThePoint.PNG](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/4/04ceac6642e5cb565782f7068a3f2f630b302779.png)

Now you have the missing object to plug in but this completely defeats the purpose of using a dispatcher in the first place… The whole idea here is not to create direct references and simply not worrying about them returning null values.

Hope it makes sense.
