Thanks for the explanation.
Should data assets also be loaded using soft references?

[@CodeWithRo]

Preferably yes 🙌 hard references will stay in memory, but many popular games that have succeeded didnt focus so much on optimization and focused more on completion!

Thanks for the reply.
I was thinking of implementing data assets in my conversation system.
Materials, metasounds, textures, etc. etc. I have a soft reference and will try to adjust it so that it can be used with data assets.

Thank you for the explanation!
Quick question: How would you implement custom attributes (like levels and elemental damage) E.g. for a weapon item without making a separate data asset for each scenario?

[@CodeWithRo]

For those id recommend a Data Table! Have a new video up about it 🥳

[@pulsar7016]

In DataAssets you can't iterate through all SecondaryAssets, but in tables you can iterate through all rows and all parameters. If I'm wrong, then explain to me how I can iterate through all assets from PRIMERYDataAsset?

[@CodeWithRo]

You’re correct that iterating through rows in a DataTable is straightforward in Unreal Engine 5. However, with PrimaryDataAssets and SecondaryDataAssets, iteration is less direct because DataAssets are often used as individual, self-contained objects rather than as collections like DataTables.

@@CodeWithRo Are Data Assets the best solution for stats by race, stats by level, job classes etc. Or is a Data Table more efficient? What are the pros and cons of each in your opinion.

[@1AnimeFinder]

[@CodeWithRo]

You can really add whatever you'd like in the data asset 👍
