OpenDoor Deigned Component

Hi, so this is my OpenDoor() class header file.

I found that you can add meta data to the UPROPERTY macro to clamp the min and max values permitted within the UE editor by using ‘Meta = (ClampMin = “0.0”, ClampMax = “360.0”)’.

Also, the comments on the UPROPERTY variables act as tooltips for the exposed properties in the UE editor.

OpenDoor.h

	GENERATED_BODY()

	// Sets default values for this component's properties
	UOpenDoor();

	virtual void BeginPlay() override;

	virtual void TickComponent(float DeltaTime, ELevelTick TickType, FActorComponentTickFunction* ThisTickFunction) override;
	void Open(float DeltaTime, float FinalYaw);

	// Yaw angle for the open door
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Meta = (ClampMin = "0.0", ClampMax = "360.0"), BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Properties)
