Enumerations in the hitscan component  enhance code readability by defining a set of named constants. Here’s how we use them:

* **E\_HitscanDataSelection**: Dictates the data source for a hitscan operation. Options include:
  * `InitialConfigs`: Uses initial configuration settings.
  * `Configs`: Uses set of configurations inside the Component.
  * `Data Asset`: Utilizes a pre-defined data asset.
  * `Params`: Uses a structure for passing parameters to the `OnPerformHitscan` event.
* **E\_HitscanPattern**: Determines the pattern of hitscan shots:
  * `Random`: Fires hitscans in a random pattern.
  * `Fixed`: Uses a predetermined, consistent pattern.
  * `Spread`: Procedurally distributes hitscans with some randomization.
  * `Horizontal`: Limits scans to a horizontal trajectory.
