Load sound by name (string) impossible?

Here’s somebody make structs from CSV ( data table ) files. So you can sort of do that

How to get assets by name?

If I’m understanding correctly what you want to do, you can make a csv file with 2 values, the first being Name and the second being Material. The first column would be the name of the material, and the 2nd would be the actual path to it, for example, something like: Name,Material Red,“Material’/Game/Materials/RedMaterial’” Blue,“Material’/Game/Materials/BlueMaterial’” and then in Unreal, make a struct that has 1 variable, type of Material. Then drag the csv file into unreal and when it ask…

I know there are plugins that let you load assets by name, I’m pretty sure you can do it with blueprint utility widgets, but I’m not sure about runtime.

Or, you could make a map ( dictionary ) data structure, which is a name lookup for the sound.
