How I made my World Partition spatially loaded actors remember their states - Dev Diary

Now my collectables stay collected and interactable remember their states with a plugin (which no one is talking about??) from Epic. ⭐ join   / nancedevdiaries   for perks (credits, ad-free videos, early access, newsletter) ⭐Ad-free version at   / ad-free-how-i-my-125265080   I've implemented persistence in my World Partitioned level with Unreal Engine's Level Streaming Persistence plugin! Feels like a game!  At some point in your game development you'll have to start thinking about saving states and progress, regardless of game engine. In my case I had to address it earlier because I'm using Unreal Engine's World Partition and the actors are loading/unloading or well streaming in and out during play. Problem: I have a big hub world which utilizes the UE5's world partition and walking back, actors were forgetting I had interacted with or destroyed some collectible actors. Outcome: Now that I implemented a solution, my demo feels like a game!! Having objects you interacted with or collectable stay collected feels amazing. I don't know why I waited so long to implement this. 🎁 Thanks for watching and supporting! =============== 📚 Document/links I reference in this video: =============== Unreal World guide : https://dev.epicgames.com/community/l...
