Hello everyone,
I have various constants (e.g a constant uint8 TileSize) that I need to access in my c++ code as well as in my blueprints. Where should I best store such data so that I can modify it from editor (if possible a big plus but not extremely important) and can access it from both c++ and blueprints?
Thank you

UDataAsset:
But with UDataAsset I now need to have a reference to that specific asset everytime I want to access those constants, right? I can’t just do
UMyConstants::TileSize
in order to get the tile size. Is there a way to get access to the constants without having to store a reference to a specific DataAsset everywhere?
Is this also appropirate for NPC dialogue and stuff like that?
You said you want to edit default values on the editor.
For that you need an asset containing a default object…
Otherwise I would just create a static class and a function library to change static variables from Blueprints when needed. And forget about editing defaults from editor UI.
