Connecting to Twitch IRC

The code as is above there simply connects to any twitch chat you want it to (as long as you enter a valid username/ouath combination and a channel to join) and then parses every data that comes in. Amongst some other things the client receives, Twitch sends a Ping every 5 minutes to check if you are stilly online, to which the code above automatically replies and of course also all chat messages. I created a seperate method that gets called upon receiving a chat message and am passing the username of the sender and the message itself to the method. You could also make that a BlueprintImplementableEvent so that you can handle the parsing of the actual chat message yourself or do anything you wish to do with it. You could also expose SendString to BP so that you can join a channel from Blueprints, send a chat message etc.

Ahh yes I can see it now,

I setup a C++ Project for a quick test and followed your instructions, the only difference i believe being my project was called TWITCHCHAT_API when yours was called TWITCH_TEST_API

However when run the code from VS it opens the editor but when I play there are no messages in the output log regarding the codes actions.

I made sure to override the Gamemode with my new test gamemode file that I created.
I Changed the OAUTH and TwitchName for my Pass and Name respectively, do i need to remove the words that say PASS and NICK?

I should mention this is happening as well, I am unsure why its unhappy with these lines and others similar to it.

Is there something silly i forgot?

Like I said i’m very new to this, but when I read through the code I understand the functions and what they do, they just don’t seem to be happening.

Thanks guys,
