YESSSS! Got It. THANK YOU !!! TWO THUMBS Up for L.F.A forum Admins!
For anyone coming across this post and needing an answer:
To save and load your characters loadout inbetween levels you will need to use the SaveGame BluePrint, however, you cannot save actors only basic variables as mentioned above. It seems you can use the Blueprent Reference (Purple) instead tho:
I did not end up using the Instance ID, which is a variable creating unique reference numbers for each instance of each created actor in the level. (Pink picture above) Im sure this will be a smart tool to use in the future, but for now L.F.A has got me that much closer to my vision. Thank you!
