Fog of War Entities

The entities system is used by default as a solution to memory fragmentation causing heavy updates. It has been designed with this fact in mind but also to allow anything to be part of the FOW. Entities are collected and stored under containers to keep required data for the system update. They inherit from UFOW_Entity_Interface, which is a UInterface. I'm using the Unreal interface implementation to allow callable functions for Blueprint-only users. The downside of it is that entities have to be at least a UObject.

The Entities can be implemented only on the C++ side. However, many predefined Actor and ActorComponent are provided with already implemented interfaces. You will find in those derived classes two functions allowing you to EnableEntity() or DisableEntity() anywhere at any time. There is no other API; they are self-sufficient, and their updates are managed by the containers.
