My game has attachments that modify the gun’s stats and I need to multiply every value in one structure by the same section in the next structure. Is there a cleaner more efficient way to do this?
If this were a c++ struct you’d overload the * operator there. In BP… no.:
Because structs can contain so many types of data which can’t be multiplied such as pointers or text in any meaningful way, there’s not a one default or automated way to do it. You could consider not placing these values in a struct but on a map on a class, then iterate over the values in the map.
UWeaponModClass:
TMap<FGUID, float> IDToValueMap;
Structs are useful to carry data from A to B but when things get more complex or when you want to add logic to one you are better off implementing just a “class” which in the blueprint environment would be a UObject. A bit more bloated, but useful in its own way.
Something else, you are using a “Set members… node” which takes a reference but your input and output is a copy. Intentional? A dot shaped pin is a copy, a diamond shaped pin a reference.
