Anywhere I can find a list of c++ classes I can call?

Hello, I am new to Unreal Engine. I am trying to right an onHit event in c++, and I can’t find how I should call the class(I.E: EventOnHit(), EventHit(), etc). I know with C# Microsoft has a Class Library, does the Unreal Engine have something similar?

I have looked and looked and I can’t find anything when it comes to c++(there is lots on the visual coding).

PS:I would be willing to write it in the visual coding nodes, if anyone could show me an example of how that would look.

Thanks

I would recommend getting a copy of Visual Assist X if you’re serious about programming in C++ for Unreal - without it life is definitely harder.

You don’t call classes as such, events like that use Delegates. You can see an example of them being used in ShooterGame, and probably most of the engine templates as well.

Absolutely, Visual Assist is a life-saver! Great staff, too

For searching documentation, I use the docs search website, and then filter to where I want to look (i.e. the API itself, Answerhub, forums, etc).
