Error : Missing '{' in 'Enum'

Development Programming & Scripting

enum ESuitType : uint8 should be enum class ESuitType : uint8

Hello, I made two enum with the UENUM macro and it seems to produce the error: Missing ‘{’ in ‘Enum’, I don’t know why. I created the same enums in the class, without the macro and it works, but since I want to be able to access the enums in blueprint, I need the macros. I read some posts about this kind of error but it was with earlier versions of the engine and I haven’t found any a fix. So, does someone know how to fix this ?

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum ESuitType : uint8 //Here is the error
{
	Exploration UMETA(DisplayName = "Exploration"),
	Infiltrator UMETA(DisplayName = "Infiltrator"),

UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum EWeaponType : uint8

	Shotgun UMETA(DisplayName = "Shotgun"),
	Knifes UMETA(DisplayName = "Knives")
};

It worked, but now I get a syntax error on my EquipSuit function with the ESuitType indentifier. Is there a way to declare this identifier properly ?

ESuitType is defined after EquipSuit. Either move your enum above your class, or forward declare your enum above your class using enum class ESuitType : uint8;.

Well, apparently moving the enums declaration above the UCLASS resolved the problem.
