UAttributeSet::InitFromMetaDataTable

function GameplayAbilities Since unknown

#include "AttributeSet.h"

Access: public Specifiers: virtual

Description

Initializes every FGameplayAttributeData property on this set from a metadata DataTable, using each attribute's property name to look up a matching row.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Row lookup is by exact property name, so the DataTable's row names must match your FGameplayAttributeData property names precisely (e.g. 'Health', not 'Health.BaseValue').
• Only applies to properties that are FGameplayAttributeData; plain float attributes are skipped since they don't carry BaseValue/CurrentValue separately.
