Time for action – Using structs

Going back to our basket of kittens example, what if there were other things in the basket besides kittens? How would we represent them?

1. Let's create a struct at the top of our AwesomeActor class and put a few things in it.

   struct Basket
   {
       var string BasketColor;
       var int NumberOfKittens, BallsOfString;
       var float BasketSize;
   };

   Now we have two types of items in the basket as well as some variables to describe the basket itself.

2. Now we need a variable of that struct so we can use it:

   var Basket MyBasket;

3. Now we can change the values in our PostBeginPlay function.

   function PostBeginPlay()
   {
       MyBasket.NumberOfKittens = 4;
       MyBasket.BasketColor = "Yellow";
       MyBasket.BasketSize = 12.0;
       MyBasket.BallsOfString = 2;}

   That seems easy enough to handle. Let's try something a bit more complex.

4. I heard you like structs, so we'll Inception-ize it by adding a struct inside a struct.

   struct SmallBox
   {
       var int Chocolates;
       var int Cookies;
   };

5. Now let's...
