Hey guys, I’m experimenting a bit on a football game and I created 2 Data Tables, 1 for the players and 1 for the teams. Now in the Team Struct I have an array of Player Struct since many players can be in 1 team. So far no issues. Struct (sorry can’t post pics here)
Now I need a way to fill the array with players in my Team Data Table which from the logs seems to be working(screenshot). The issue I’m having is that it seems it is not saving in the Team Data Table as the array is remaining empty. Also it doesn’t make sense to me to refill the array at every start of the game so I prefer to save. Array remaining empty Blueprint screenshot
You can fill data table from CSV JSON or from google docs (well something from google online tools).
You can also make editor tool widget to create players in easier way.
Also blueprint pic is too low res for me to read tiny and pixelated text, so no help with that.
However this may help with data tables:
this is about unreal and CSV importing to data tables:
Unreal docs about JSON plugin:
Personally i wrote tiny json code in c++ (basically exposing json function to blueprints and declaring structs there in C++). This solves loading data, but it needs some asset manager tweaking so json file gets packaged.
Ps.
Consider using data assets for players, then fill teams with info from Data Asset. This way you can have single Data Asset per player, and data table that holds just players ids, rest would be loaded from players data asset.
This “WTF is” guy made excellent tutorials about data assets and data assets created in blueprints (which can contain some blueprint code)
