using namespace PropertyAccessHelpers;

• Access properties, like this:

USpotLightComponent* SpotLightComponent = FindComponentByClass<USpotLightComponent>();
const float AttenuationRadius = GetPropertyValue<float, PNAME(AttenuationRadius)>(SpotLightComponent);
SetPropertyValue<bool, PNAME(CastShadows)>(SpotLightComponent, false);
