Hello Tokyo,
I know where you are coming from and feel your frustration. Everyone coming from Unity feels it too.
I wish Epic would grant itself a Mega - Mega - Grant and hire more staff to help out with UE C++, Plugin creation.
They are structured differently from unity in that they offer support and handholding if you are a paid licensee or join Unreal Developer Network (paid).
This reasonable because the tradeoff for not having dedicated support is that you get to use the engine for free.
Here’s how i’m coping with C++ development :
1.Get the free preview version of Rider for UE
- Follow these youtubers for learning or understanding UE C++
a. Mike Stevanovic - YouTube
b. Unreal Engine Character Tutorial - Animate And Move A 3D Character In Unreal Engine 4 - YouTube
c. Create A Small Adventure Game With Unreal Engine And C++ | Unreal Engine Tutorial - YouTube
Gamedev.tv courses on C++
Namely:
- Unreal 4.22 C++ Developer : Learn C++ and Make Video Games
- Unreal Multiplayer Master : Video Game Dev In C++
- Unreal VR Dev : Make VR Experiences with Unreal Engine in C++
Epics online Learning portal had a deal with them to give this to you for free but the links to this have disappeared.
Update 1-9-2021 : Try the below link to get them all for FREE !
https://learn.unrealengine.com/course/3750189
If the above link doesn’t work the courses are still pretty affordable and worth buying.
For plugin Creation :
-
take the Free course from the UE learning portal
Best Practices for Creating and Using Plugins - Unreal Engine -
This video on plugin development from UE Community
UE4 Modules - YouTube
3.The Unreal community WIKI
Once again, you are not alone in your frustration. Work at it and hang in there buddy.
Cheers,
