Ohhhh. You just need to find the right size. They should be slightly too big to do other tasks easily with.

I just idly tried this as a joke & it worked. In Unreal Blueprints if you set a function's Target as an array of them, it calls it for each item!? Want to hide multiple things? Just give SetVisibility an array of scene components to hide instead of looping. Years without noticing this..... #gamedev

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, meta=(ArraySizeEnum="EYourEnum"))
FThingy MyThings[(int)EYourEnum::Num];
The meta ArraySizeEnum does the magic & you UMETA(Hidden) the Num so it's not listed.
Makes a nice fixed list which shows up in editor with ENum DisplayNames. And obviously you can just fetch by enum.

I swear Windows 11 just rolls a dice to decide whether today is a day pressing standby will power down & then just wake back up 2 seconds later on it's own. It's a pretty amazing. I have no hardware allowed to wake it and no wake timers & still it just pings back into life every time on random days.

A lot of people ask how I render the 3D cartoon balls in Pool Panic.
It's actually just a simple simulated skeletal & cardiovascular system.

Hurray! Pool Panic will not be leaving the stores & we will be taking over as publisher from Adult Swim Games soon. Cogs are turning on the process. We are working on patches, tuning areas & adding extra fun. Expect news in the coming months of updates & a big sale to celebrate.
