Getting into C++ with Unreal Engine - Part2 - Blueprint Function Library

This video is the second part in a short series aimed at giving people who want to use C++ with the Unreal Engine a helping hand to get started.
In this part, I go over creating an Unreal Project that uses C++ coding, we take a brief look at some important project files, and familiarize ourselves with the IDE.
I then work through a simple example; using C++ to create a Blueprint Function Library, allowing you to add your own custom Blueprint Nodes to your projects.

It has come to my attention (basically a nice guy on Discord told me) that in the video my Rider displayed a Unicode NOT EQUALS symbol, where I had actually typed in !=
I have no idea why or how it did that, and I cant even make it do it again... and if i didn't have the video evidence to prove it actually did it I wouldn't believe it.
It certainly doesn't do it now!
So be warned, don't type a single Unicode not-equal symbol, type !=
Sorry!

These are easily the best C++ tutorials for Unreal. It's exhausting to sit through slow, meandering tutorials. How wonderful it is with tutorials for programmers who just need a speed-course in another platform.

dude, the humor, the pacing. Please don't stop making these. I know the view count is low for game dev tuts but i cant thank you enough for this.

"Remember to stretch properly before trying to pat yourself on the back." Nahhhh I can't 😂

This looks like it's turning into a great series. Keep them coming!

This is exactly what I've been looking for to start learning CPP in Unreal! Thanks so much! These tutorials are masterfully crafted and I love the presentation!

[damianlarocque]

Amazing tutorials. Looking forward to part 3

[BLACKOPS]

THANK YOU... really hope you start pumping these videos out. As someone new to programming these tutorials are incredible!

[raydx]

These tutorials are amazing! I am so thankful for you explaining all basic level concepts. As someone who is new to C++ and Unreal this is absolutely a blessing. Thank you so much! Your Tutorials are amazing.

Ohhh your videos helped me sooo much understanding what is happening with all of this blueprints and "EPIC's C++" stuff. I was struggling with the basics like for a few days trying to do read documentation and searching for simple niche tutorials and forums.
Thank you!!!

[mdlsvensson]

Thank you so much for making this. It is sensational, exactly what I need.

Now this is some real S-tier content
Hope the YT algorithm pushes this to the top for anyone learning C++ on UE

Hi! I'm writing this so that other beginners don't do the same error as me, especially if you come from Unity or Godot. YOU CAN'T HAVE THE UNREAL EDITOR OPENED WHILE YOU WRITE YOUR C++ CODE! It probably seems obvious for most but I wasted more time than I want to admit trying to understand why my code wasn't building and the solution was just to close the UE Editor. Everything went well after that point and the video explains very well tho

5:22 I was so focused on your explanation that I thought someone was behind me and interupted my session, i jumped in my seat!

"remember to stretch properly before trying to pat yourself on the back" LOL that one tickled me
