# Method 2 - Data Table Entry
Here you'll find out how to create data driven iterations of turrets, the Data Table consists of soft references to meshes for an optimized way of storing configurations
{% hint style="success" %}
Data Tables allow you to create turrets without having to use a blueprint for it. Data Table entries are spawned in with the included **BP\_TurretSpawner**, which can preview any entry.
{% endhint %}

Tip: Use [Method 1 - Child Blueprints](/multiplayer-turret-documentation/tutorial/creating-your-own-turrets/method-1-child-blueprints.md)to visualize your setup and copy all the transforms over to the **Meshes** config, the blueprint can be deleted afterwards and the Data Table entry is now ready to spawn in with the **BP\_TurretSpawner**.
{% endhint %}
## Place the BP\_TurretSpawner at your desired location
Found inside folder below
Once added to your level, select the Data Table to use, the **Turret Row Names** will automatically update with all entries available, copy an entry and paste it in the **Selected Turret Row Nam**e. The spawner will load that config and update the preview.
If you want to use a created turret blueprint and don't want to use a data table but still want to use the spawner, uncheck **Use Data Table** and set the **Turret Class to Spawn** to your desired blueprint.
Preview is updated

This concludes the Data Table Method of setting up a Turret. Visit the [Configuration](/multiplayer-turret-documentation/fundamentals/configuration.md) page to continue setting up the turret's behavior.
