Unreal - Enums

• Never use unscoped enums, as values can clash with predefined eums
  • Use enum class / enum struct instead:
  • I have had a warning that scroped classes only support uint8

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class ETabBreadcrumb : uint8
{
 None,
 ThingA,
 ThingB
}

• UEnum::GetValueAsString(value);
  • Returns an FString, so when logging make sure to dereference!
  • UE_LOG(LogCat, LogType, TEXT("This is enum %s"), *UEnum::GetValueAsName(value).ToString())
