Hi danibb - not with this plugin at this time, but this is a request I see a lot. It is something I will consider for the future.Procedural, modular, on-the-fly animation - iTween For UE4

I second this request! I have some complex structs that would be great to export and be able to manipulate. I'm sure I read somewhere that this supports structs within structs, correct? It would be nice to be able to export just to make sure that a complex CSV like that is setup correctly for import.Originally posted by danibb View Post

That's a fair use case, thank you for the feedback! It is true, the plugin supports structs within structs. For now, I'd recommend creating a normal DataTable in the engine with a nested struct then exporting it to CSV to get a feel for the layout, then create new rows in Google sheets based on that.Originally posted by AaronMTodd View Post
The heat is rising on this feature request, but I'll be honest: This is something I've looked into and the amount of work for implementation wouldn't be trivial. So if I do make this feature happen it will be part of a separate plugin. Reasons being:- I don't want to raise the price of RDT as it is
- People who don't need the export feature might feel burned having to pay more when it didn't use to be like that
- The time investment for implementation, testing and support will far surpass the amount of money I make from the plugin to begin with

Hi Jared,
Thank you for the wonderful plugin.
I notice the following code in ReadCSVRow()
I believe it should be:Code://Ensure we won't end up with an index under 0 (in case of an empty string) int32 FieldIndex = (fields[CSV_FieldIndex].Len() - 1 < 0 ? 0 : fields[CSV_FieldIndex].Len() - 1); //todo: keep an eye on this if (fields[CSV_FieldIndex].Len() > 1 && fields[CSV_FieldIndex][FieldIndex] == '\\') //if we find a wrapper character and the last character was supposed to escape it then it was obviously included by the user { fields[CSV_FieldIndex][FieldIndex] = WrapperCharacter; StateIndex = 3; //Quote within user string/text } StateIndex = 2; //Wrapped wrapper
Otherwise, StateIndex will always be 2.Code:... StateIndex = 3; //Quote within user string/text } else { StateIndex = 2; //Wrapped wrapper }Comment

Hello, Jared!
I have encountered an issue working with your plugin.
It doesn't encode cyrillic symbols correctly after import from Google spreadsheets. For example, russian word "Приказ" was encoded to "?@8:07". I think, that's because of default UTF-16 encoding. Is it possible to use UTF-8 encoding during import?Comment

Hi Crusader_91, maybe you can help me figure out when this is happening. After 'Call On Complete' is called, save the payload and send that to me please!Originally posted by Crusader_91 View Post
I'm currently using wchar_t to parse the payload into structs and it's my understanding that should support Cyrillic, so I would like to know if the garbage data is coming from Google or if the script converts it to garbage. Send some samples when you can! Thank you.Procedural, modular, on-the-fly animation - iTween For UE4

Hello Jared,
This is a duplicate of the letter I sent you personally.
We were talking about an issue about encoding cyrillic symbols in the downloaded information. You asked me to send the payload string to you. Here it is (partially):
========================================================================
========================================================================Code:LogBlueprintUserMessages: [BP_ItemManager_2] ---,Item Name: Identified,Item Class,Item Type,Item Mesh In World,Item Materials,Item UI Image,Description,Usable,Equipable,Stackable,Max Stack Count,Item Price,OneItemMass,PivotPointShiftInItemInspector,EventsToActivateOnPickup 00000000,"(RU=""Масло навыка: Перехват"",EN=""None"")",/Game/Blueprints/World/Items/Oil_Items/Skills/BP_Equip_Oil_Skill_General_Intercept.BP_Equip_Oil_Skill_General_Intercept_C,Oil_Skill,/Game/Prototyping/Meshes/Items/Potionbottle_001.Potionbottle_001,(None),/Game/VisualContent/UI/GraphicsAndSprites/EquipmentIconsAndItems/Items/Oil/MI_ItemsUI_Oil_Skill_Gener al_Intercept.MI_ItemsUI_Oil_Skill_General_Intercept,"(RU=""Капсула с Маслом, дающая персонажу навык: Перехват"",EN=""English Text"")",FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,0,0,0.500000,"(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000)",None 00000001,"(RU=""Масло навыка: Дезориентирующий приказ"",EN=""None"")",/Game/Blueprints/World/Items/Oil_Items/Skills/BP_Equip_Oil_Skill_General_DisorientOrder.BP_Equip_Oil_Skill_General_DisorientOrder_C,Oil_Skill,/Game/Prototyping/Meshes/Items/Potionbottle_001.Potionbottle_001,(None),/Game/VisualContent/UI/GraphicsAndSprites/EquipmentIconsAndItems/Items/Oil/M I_ItemsUI_Oil_Skill_General_Disorient.MI_ItemsUI_Oil_Skill_General_Disorient,"(RU=""Капсула с Маслом, дающая персонажу навык: Дезориентирующий приказ"",EN=""English Text"")",FALSE,TRUE,FALSE,0,0,0.500000,"(X=0.000000,Y=0.000000,Z=0.000000)",None
As I can see, the payload string is correct, so the garbage data is definitely not coming from Google. Each segment of the Russian-language text (after the labels "RU") is reproduced correctly.
I also attach a link to a copy of this table, so you can make sure the information is correct:

You're right joesys! I actually saw this oversight a few weeks ago and fixed it localy but I haven't pushed the fix. I will be pushing a fix soon (in the next month). This should only affect users who have double-nested quotes in their text and heavy use of "\". For most users this won't be an issue, but a bug is a bug and I'll have the fix out soon!

For those reading, we worked this out. For some reason the marketplace gave this an outdated version of the plugin - if you're on 4.24 and experience issues with non-latin writing systems when using this plugin let me know.Originally posted by Jared Therriault View PostProcedural, modular, on-the-fly animation - iTween For UE4

Hi! Im developing for Android and Im not sure what I should use as the Save/Load Path. Im also using this plugin to download images from urls and save them, would I use this same path for that?
Thanks!Comment

Hello IgnacioFarias,Originally posted by IgnacioFarias View Post
Save Path and Load Path are optional provided you're using an online Google Sheet. If you provide a path, the plugin will save the Google Sheet in CSV format. You can then load the CSV from the path in the event your game is offline or you don't provide a Google Sheets URL.
If you want to provide a path, then the easiest method on mobile is to use relative paths through blueprint. Searching for "Paths" in blueprint nodes, you can build something like this:
UE4 will return the appropriate path based on the operating system this way, then the plugin will construct any missing folders as needed.
As for your second question, this plugin won't download images directly. I assume that you're storing image URLs in a spreadsheet and downloading them separately, correct? If that's the case then you can save them anywhere that makes sense to you. The plugin doesn't have anything to do with that
But as a general tip, I'd still recommend using the Paths blueprint nodes just for ease of use.
