UDataTableFunctionLibrary::GetDataTableRowFromName

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/DataTableFunctionLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallableCustomThunk

Description

Looks up the row named RowName in Table and copies its data into OutRow, returning whether the row was found.

Caveats & Gotchas

• BlueprintInternalUseOnly — in the graph editor this backs the "Get Data Table Row" node, which infers OutRow's concrete struct type from the wired pin rather than exposing this raw wildcard function.
• OutRow's struct must match (or be compatible with) Table's row struct; a mismatch is caught at Blueprint compile time by the CustomStructureParam machinery, not at runtime.
• In C++, call UDataTable::FindRow<T>() directly instead of this wrapper — it's simpler and gives you a typed pointer.

Signature

static bool GetDataTableRowFromName(UDataTable* Table, FName RowName, FTableRowBase& OutRow);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
Table	UDataTable*	The DataTable to look up the row in.	—
RowName	FName	Name of the row to fetch.	—
OutRow	FTableRowBase&	Wildcard output struct that receives the row's data if found; its concrete type is inferred from the wired pin in the Blueprint graph.	—

Return Type

bool

Example

Look up a row (C++ equivalent) C++

static const FString ContextString(TEXT("AWeapon::LoadStats"));
if (FWeaponStatsRow* Row = MyDataTable->FindRow<FWeaponStatsRow>(TEXT("Rifle"), ContextString))
{
	// use Row->Damage, etc.
}
