Hey there @novee90! As a true beginner, all tutorials will feel like you’re getting nowhere, because you haven’t had a practical reason to store the memory. C++ is a big step, and if you aren’t ready for it, it will be much harder than blueprints at first.
One way to force yourself to retain the information is to continue doing tutorials on things you don’t know, but once you have a functioning script, sit down and pick it apart, really drill down to how it works, change things, try to add features. You will eventually stumble and hit a roadblock, this is natural and ideal learning conditions. Working through it is what will lock in that knowledge forever.
If you have a specific type of game you’d like to make, I can always recommend resources, and don’t forget, when you run into trouble you can always ask for help on the forums!
