UEFN Data Recovery System

Prefabs and in-world entity objects that are instanced or copied use and share Verse functionality through the Verse component.

As you add more functionality to objects that use or rely on Verse components, you might modify the underlying functionality of your entity objects. Recovering your data provides a way for you to reverse new modifications by falling back on your old data set.

The data recovery system transfers data for:

• Fields
• Classes
• Structs

Serialization Issues

Without recovering your data, any changes made to an established Verse component would cause serialization flaws in one of the following situations:

• Renaming properties
• Deleting properties
• Changing the type of a properties

The example case presented in this document uses an editable struct to express values for a float, string, and int. Changing the name of the editable struct property creates a loose property that also uses the established data from the float, string, and int.
