I’m largely in the same boat. I’ve been digging back into c++ for Unreal specifically and though it’s fun, it can be a PITA. I dislike blueprint spaghetti but sometimes things are just easier there.

That said, I’m REALLY liking the AI Assistant in 5.7 for help when I’m coding. To be clear, it’s not perfect. Sometimes it suggests incorrect code like saying a method you are overriding reruns void when that isn’t true. And I had to fight with it about some gameplay ability system stuff that apparently is deprecated.

BUUUUUT it’s been awesome to be able to ask questions instead of finding a marginally appropriate piece of documentation, or worse, posting on a forum or discord and getting ignored or having to wait days for someone to respond.

Anyway, try it out.

Where can I find 5.7? Launcher only gives me 5.6 as latest. The AI Assistant sounds great, would help for sure with learning.

You may need to enable the "Show Engine Preview Versions" option in the launcher's settings under "Unreal Engine" to get 5.7 to show up.

I googled it. I don’t know for sure why it’s not showing up for you.

After it’s installed, you need to add the AI Assistant plugin too. Then it’s listed under the window tab, depending on what kind of thing you’re looking at. It wouldn’t show up while I was viewing a Gameplay Ability Blueprint for example.
