I’ve decided to use C++ (against my better judgement) to create a class for my data assets. Initially I thought I could use my pre-existing Enumerations I created in the editor but then realized I had to create an enum class from scratch to get it referenced cleanly in the header file. Unfortunately for me, like every time I use C++ in Unreal, it crashed while I was working on it and now refused to recompile or build until I fix the issues from vs, I’ve gotten all but one error down (the others were simple “.generated.h” files not showing up but I fixed those by just removing it from the enum file). Now my issue is that it fails to build because: “Unable to find ‘enum’ with name ‘EItemID’”, I’ve tried just about everything from changing the file class and type- to editing the parameters to see what works. I still can’t seem to get it or find anyone whose faced the same problem and posted a solution. namespace doesn’t seem to do anything or I’m doing it wrong, and adding ‘enum class EItemID : uint8’ doesn’t seem to work either. Any help? Are enums really this tricky?
#pragma once
#include "ItemID.h"

enum ItemID {
ART_LITERATURE UMETA(DisplayName = "Artifact_Literature"),

ART_ARROW UMETA(DisplayName = "Ammunition_Arrow"),
