BitFlags in Unreal Engine 4

[anonymous_user_6623e747]

So I know in c++ I am able to do this for lowering memory usage:

#include <iostream>
int main()
{

const unsigned char isPoisoned = 1 << 0;
const unsigned char isBleeding = 1 << 1;
const unsigned char isFreezing = 1 << 2;
const unsigned char isBurning = 1 << 3;
const unsigned char isFlying = 1 << 4;
const unsigned char isStructure = 1 << 5;
const unsigned char isSummon = 1 << 6;
const unsigned char isEnemy= 1 << 7;

unsigned char me = 0; // all flags/options turned off to start
me |= isBleeding | isPoisoned;


return 0;
}

I’m wondering if this is completely acceptable in EU4 or if I should do this another way.

Of course. UE4 is just C++, however the preferred way would likely be to simply use a UENUM with the BitMask property specifier. See the “As Bitmask” section here: Properties | Unreal Engine Documentation

Alright, thanks for the suggestion & info.
