Unreal Engine 5 compatibility update
This PR contains the start of a migration to UE5 Preview. I struggled to find a way to get a macro that associates UE5 with Preview instead of Early Access. Closest I could find was the BRANCH_NAME macro. Maybe @nxrighthere you know of a better way? I guess once UE5 stable is out Early Access won't need to be supported.
There is also a deprecated warning for UObject->IsPendingKill function. I've left that out for now, I imagine if it is being deprecated we could just omit it in UE5.
Hope this helps!
BoxSphereBounds became a generic type and should be changed accordingly in my codegen tool. I need to think about how to wrap it properly.
Yeah, that sounds right.
I believe they made it generic for the large world coordinates. I'm not sure if this will change back to a specific type with 5.0 stable. Reading the codebase, I saw there was mention that floats will become doubles in 5.0 to support large world coordinates.
Will it work with preview2 as well? In the preview 1 the float renamed to Real (probably double type), but in the preview 2, the float came back.
Yeah, I think there's been a few changes with these classes. Haven't yet tried to port to Preview 2, but on my task list for the week so can feedback here!
Changing the Bounds structure will break compatibility with UE4, and this structure is based on double data types by default in UE5. Also, System.Numerics.Vectors doesn't support double-precision in .NET. 🤔
There are a bunch of other methods that require refactoring for double precision. It seems that I have to make a separate branch for UE5 and maintain it along with master or drop support of UE4 entirely. 🙄

Consider using "#if" solutions instead of maintaining different branches.
Cool stuff... Any idea on a timeframe for when a UE5 compatible version will be ready for download? Or is there a test branch I can download now?

That's probably an acceptable way to solve it, but I have no clue what to do with the double-precision math since it's not supported yet in System.Numerics.Vectors.
