Spawning Random Actors

note

See LV_UseCases in the example map for an implementation.

Overview

Suppose we want to define a list of actors to randomly spawn in a level. We can do this with a loot table template:

Data Table Coins
Row Name	Actor Class
Copper	BP_CoinCopper
Silver	BP_CoinSilver
Gold	BP_CoinGold

Loot Table Template A (Unlimited)
Row Name	Ref Table	Ref Row Name	Ref Mode	Weight	Weight Inherit Mode
Copper	Coins	Copper	Row	6000	Parent
Silver	Coins	Silver	Row	3000	Parent
Gold	Coins	Gold	Row	1000	Parent

Loot Table A
Ref Table	Ref Row Name	Weight	Probability
Coins	Copper	6000	60%
Coins	Silver	3000	30%
Coins	Gold	1000	10%

We can sample from this loot table, get the actor class from the data table, and spawn the actor in the level.
