Howdy!
I wanted to make a plug-in to have chat commands from and irc chat server (Most importantly Twitch Chat).
I look up knowingly I need something with IRC, but I couldn’t figure out if the engine can support something like irc chat or have something that would support communication.
I’m looking for something similar - are there any resources/documentation for that topic?
I am currently using BLUI, then insert your favourite JS chat client. You could also use UnrealJS
Not a bad idea. 
Here’s another, more native solution: Connecting to Twitch IRC - C++ Gameplay Programming - Unreal Engine Forums
