Exploring other data structures
There are data structures that are not created within a Blueprint class. They are independent auxiliary assets that can be used in a Blueprint. With these data structure assets, you are able to add your own data types to a project and can learn how to use tools that help you deal with a large volume of data in your project.
Let's learn how to create and use enumerations, structures, and data tables.
