Inherite from UDataTable

For developers who came here:

Basically this page is talk about to add custom game logic to an UDataTable Object.

You can understand this demand by an UDataAsset with an TMap in it:

UCLASS(BlueprintType)
class UCustomDataTable : public UDataAsset
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

public:

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
	TMap<FName, FTableRow> MapData;

..............

	UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable)
	void CustomFunction();

..............
};
  1. UDataAsset can have custom game function, but don’t have an Row-Column view in UE Editor
  2. UDatatable can have an Row-Column view, but developer would face problem when they try to inherite from UDataTable, like Valerik87 did.

I haven’t try the inherite process, but since someone tried it for me, I think it would be better to use an functionlibrary to work with UDataTable.
