[Tutorial] How to accept wildcard structs in your UFUNCTIONs

Thank you, this helped me a lot!

If anyone is interested, based on the example above I used the JsonObjectConverter to serialize any blueprint struct:

TSharedPtr<FJsonObject> AMyActor::BlueprintStructToJsonAttributes(FProperty* Property, const void* Value)
{
	if (FStructProperty* StructProperty = CastField<FStructProperty>(Property))
	{
		TSharedPtr<FJsonObject> Out = MakeShared<FJsonObject>();
		if (FJsonObjectConverter::UStructToJsonAttributes(StructProperty->Struct, Value, Out->Values))
		{
			return Out;
		}
	}
	return nullptr;
}

The problem with this was that the names of the properties are somewhat cryptic.
In the end I wrote some custom JsonObjectConverter functions to use the AuthoredName instead.
