# DA_DataAssetArchitecture — Data Asset Architecture Overview
|
|
|
|
**Parent Class:** `UDataAsset`
|
|
**Dependencies:** All consuming systems
|
|
**Purpose:** Overview of all 20 Data Asset types in the framework, naming conventions, and dependency rules.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
The Modular Game Framework uses `UDataAsset` (and subclass `UPrimaryDataAsset` where persistent identifiers are needed) as the primary authoring format for designer-facing content. Each DA type covers one content domain: weapons, AI profiles, atmosphere presets, narrative data, encounter definitions, etc.
|
|
|
|
### Conventions
|
|
- **Naming:** `DA_<Domain><Subtype>` — e.g., `DA_WeaponData`, `DA_AIProfile`, `DA_AtmosphereProfile`
|
|
- **Storage:** All DA files live in `Content/DataAssets/<Domain>/` in-engine
|
|
- **Parent Class:** `Primary Data Asset` (Blueprint class). Maps to C++ `UPrimaryDataAsset`.
|
|
- **Loading:** Use `Async Load Primary Asset` node with `Primary Asset Id` and `Primary Asset Type`
|
|
- **Validation:** Each DA implements a `ValidateData()` function for editor-time data integrity checks
|
|
- **Gameplay Tags:** All DAs carry a `Gameplay Tag Container` for query and filtering
|
|
|
|
### Dependency Rules
|
|
1. DAs reference other DAs by `Primary Asset Id` or `Soft Object Reference`, never by hard pointer
|
|
2. No DA may reference a runtime system; only other DAs
|
|
3. Circular DA references are prohibited — use `World Context Object` for runtime resolution
|
|
4. All DA types are registered in `DefaultGame.ini` under `[/Script/Engine.AssetManagerSettings]`
|
|
- In BP: configure via **Project Settings → Asset Manager → Primary Asset Types to Scan**
|
|
|
|
### BP Type Reference
|
|
| C++ Type | Blueprint Variable Type | BP Node |
|
|
|----------|------------------------|---------|
|
|
| `FPrimaryAssetId` | `Primary Asset Id` | `Make Primary Asset Id`, `Break Primary Asset Id` |
|
|
| `FPrimaryAssetType` | `Primary Asset Type` | `Make Primary Asset Type` |
|
|
| `TSoftObjectPtr<T>` | `Soft Object Reference` | `Async Load Primary Asset`, `Resolve Soft Reference` |
|
|
| `FGameplayTagContainer` | `Gameplay Tag Container` | `Has Tag`, `Add Tag`, `Has Any` |
|
|
| `UPrimaryDataAsset` | `Primary Data Asset` (parent class) | Right-click → Miscellaneous → Data Asset → PrimaryDataAsset |
|
|
|
|

|
### Reuse Notes
|
|
- This overview serves as a registry — all DA types referenced in any system must appear here
|
|
- New DA types require registration in DefaultGame.ini AND this document
|
|
- All individual DA spec files are in `docs/blueprints/14-data-assets/` |
