Unreal Enums seems to create problems

[datee]

It seems that in general trying to use Unreal Enums in Haxe causes problems.

Test:

var b:EBodyCollisionResponse = EBodyCollisionResponse.BodyCollision_Enabled;
var c:EBlendableLocation = EBlendableLocation.BL_AfterTonemapping;
var e:EndPlayReason:EEndPlayReason = EEndPlayReason.Destroyed;

I get :

This is an issue with Haxe itself. I’ve been trying to find a solution, but also waiting to see if this pull request gets accepted:

https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/pull/10830

in mean time, next commit should also fix this somewhat by replacing the externs with abstracts.
