Getting Started

Hey, everyone! I’m trying to switch over to C++ from Blueprints because, I heard that they create to much unusable code. I just wanted to ask you where I get started with a Windows 10 custom built PC. I would appreciate any help.

If you already know c++, I recommend you download UT source and ShooterGame template from Epic and take a look at their code. You will learn a lot of Unreal Engine C++ by these two examples.

If you dont have much experience in C++ but knows how to code, watch all UnrealEngine YT channel C++ tutorials

If you dont know c++ at all, I highly suggest you to read C++ Primer Plus or any other recommended C++ tome before start risking yourself in coding over the engine. And reading is always a good idea if you are willing to become a nice programmer, so always have pending lectures. Reading good programming books incredibly save you a lot of time in most of the cases instead of diving into the unknown.

Udemy also has a nice UE4 C++ online course.

Thank you, Gbr. I appreciate the help.
