[Deprecated] Creating a New Object Definition

Due for Removal, please speak to support for further info.

09/06/2025: MSquared will no longer be supporting "user collections" as a concept (or datasources). If you want similar functionality, it will need to be implemented via an alternative storage system, e.g. the KV Store.

Overview

In order to add an object to a user collection, your object needs a definition in a datasource. There are currently two mechanisms for create obeject definitions:

Creating Objects Definitions via the Project Dashboard

This is something that is under developement and subject to change. Reach out to an MSquared support engineer on how to do this. It's worth noting that some projects my allow users to add user collection object via the collections page accessible by all users. To add a new object to a collection, behind the scenes a new object definition will be created. This can be used as a clumbsy way of creating new object definitions.

Creating Objects Definitions from Unreal

Object definitions can also be created from inside unreal. Details can be found here.
