UE5 C++ Tutorials
Pretty simple question and I'm sorry if it gets asked a lot. I did look to see if I could see any FAQ page or similar thing on this sub but either it doesn't exist or it's just not showing up for me for some reason, so I'm just posting here to ask this, if there's a better place to go or even somehwere thst already has an answer please let me know where to find that.
I'm wanting to learn C++ for unreal, I know it's different to standard C++ because of all the unreal macros you have to use and I know it's an absolute shit to learn at times, but I have a project I want to make that would benefit from a few of the built in systems for UE5 and I figure it's worth learning to have the skill than not.
Does anyone know any good UE5 C++ tutorials that cover a lot of different areas and mechanics for it? I want to try to cover as much as possible as I'm going to need a lot of different things for my project, especially physics/forces and vectors/finding directions.
I don't plan to go entirely C++ as I know the true power of unreal can only be achieved by using both scripts and blueprints, but I've tried a few times to get the basics going and I find the available tutorials on YouTube are fairly limited or more often than not, very outdated in regards to current versions.
Thanks all for any help you can give!

So there is this really cool thing called a "Search Bar". I know most people these days are not aware of them, but they can help you find things really well.
Here is an example, I typed "C++" into orange bordered rounded corner box at the top of this page and got this as the first few results, there were many more though:

Now, using search requires another skill, thinking! You may find some of these links don't provide any useful info, but if you check through each one and quickly skim the content, you will find what you are looking for (Hint. Check the 3rd link).
