This is such a useful tutorial thank you so much. I'm only 2 months into game dev and my current systems are incredibly messy. I think understanding the different ways to store data this early on in my journey will be extremely helpful in the long run. Thank you so much! by far one of the best channels I have found yet and you are super chill. Excited to dive into more of your videos!

@ now that I am finished I’m researching composite data tables now for the purpose of defining spawned weapon attributes. This video was super useful to me; I am using a data table to store round timer duration attributes based on chosen difficulty

Not forgetting Material Parameter Collections which you can use effectively (read and write at runtime) anywhere outside the material graph as well for any global scalar and vector parameters and easy manipulation in BP or as a MPC sequencer track

The function library is clever because you can change a bunch of colors by just changing it in one place

Quick question, Im not sure if i simply didnt understand but, lets say I want to save a check point of a player then reset the scene or change scene and have a persistent data storage that can hold the information of the check point that I was at last before the reset. What you showed in your video is just data containers correct? So I would not be able to use them for my goal.

@esotericgamedev 5 ай бұрын

Yeah use save game asset for your purpose. I did a video on it around the same time this one was uploaded

Hey, thanks for the video, I didn't know about Data Assets tbh. You didn't mention Game Instance is it because you just don't use it or is it because it's not supposed to be used this way because of reasons?

@esotericgamedev 10 ай бұрын

Yeah you can use the game instance but I wouldn’t use it for too many things because it will get cluttered. I usually reserve the game instance for things like connecting players to multiplayer rather than general data

@bertrandciesielski2260 10 ай бұрын

@@esotericgamedev I see, thanks for the explanation, guess I will move some stuff out of the game instance in my current project. I've been using game instance mixed with data tables and map variables to store stuff since 2017 xD

@zypperhhh 6 ай бұрын

And what if I want to update those variables in game and keep them persistent, what would be the best one to do that ?

@esotericgamedev 6 ай бұрын

Probably actor component

Greaaat subject!! Could you make video about Dependencies? which method of data storage to use and how NOT to make direct references ? Its a subject there is very little about on youtube i feel. and those can really mess up the game 😊

See the previous video about modular blueprints

@LuciousKage Жыл бұрын

O_O Man, u good... u went back in time and made a video about it... respect @@esotericgamedev ;) ps ive watched it already, but i though of more examples, like how to use things like object actors or other methods to store and call variables without dependencies hard dependencies. ( because structs do hard reference for example)

i am having issues with data assets, i was using them for skills in my combat system but they keep resetting to default every time i start up unreal engine. which isn't really useful.
