Should I store my DataTableRows in a Map for quicker access? I’m using a map which is really fast. When using FindRow I would think it would need to read line by line to find your row with the ID you want. This could be slow.

Here is some example code

#include "MovementActorComponent.h"

TMap<FName, FMovementDataTableRow*> UMovementActorComponent::MovementDatas;

//Called When Component Is Added To Actor
UMovementActorComponent::UMovementActorComponent()
{
 PrimaryComponentTick.bCanEverTick = true;
}


// Called when the game starts
void UMovementActorComponent::BeginPlay()
{
 Super::BeginPlay();

 if (MovementDataTable != nullptr && !UMovementActorComponent::MovementDatas.Contains(MovementDataTableID))
 {
  FMovementDataTableRow* Data = MovementDataTable->FindRow<FMovementDataTableRow>(MovementDataTableID, "MOVEMENTDATA", false);
  UMovementActorComponent::MovementDatas.Add(MovementDataTableID, Data);
 }
}


// Called every frame
void UMovementActorComponent::TickComponent(float DeltaTime, ELevelTick TickType, FActorComponentTickFunction* ThisTickFunction)
{
}
