Hi everyone. I wish to analize chatbox from my youtube channel. I want users to be able affect my game by sending commands. I found web brouser plugin on plugins window but it can only show chatbox. I cant get data from it, make arrays and commands from user messages. I do not know where to go and who to ask. I found remote web but most likly its for remote control of ue. I know its possible cos I seen a streamer who made it somehow. Users from chatwindow can send commands to beat him or punish his character or do other things.
Hey there @user_0f9cca0911c97a03037a165ca737773c707a7f958aad4ec678e96b! Welcome to the community! You’re going to want to look into making API calls to the Youtube API. Specifically the LiveChatMessages portion of the API I believe. If you’ve never worked with an API you can learn more with the resources below:

This is a repository for a sample project I implemented a long time ago.
I use the free plugin VaRest for API calls.
