Will blueprints using data tables load all connected models at once?

Will Blueprint using DataTable load all connected models at once?

Yes whenever you spawn/place that bp in the level map, it will load all rows inside that data table.
You can check this with Reference Viewer.
You can used Soft Reference to manually load what is needed if you want to save some memory.

I believe data table nodes are still broken in terms of published project runtime usage:
You cannot swap them out or load them dynamically.

There was also some other reason not to use them because they did not operate correctly which made just scripting the process with a static array a better (alas one you need to type manaully) solution.

Oh :scream: really? Now my script is load with DataTable, do I need to change it?

Not sure.
Test a release by publishing and moving the final file to a different device.

From you Structure asset, you will need to set your Mesh type to soft ref.
For eg:

Then manually load them like this:
