I have copied this function and used in various versions from 4.15 to 4.23 and it all compiles fine.
I am now trying to use 4.25 but I can not compile the following even though its copied directly from 4.23
This line is an issue with the : but I don’t know the syntax for how to fix it:

#include "CoreMinimal.h"
