Quickstart Chat Module Version

This quickstart chat Client is built on from the C# Module Quickstart.
If you have started with the Rust Module Quickstart the reducer names will differ, send_message instead of SendMessage and set_name instead of SetName. /

How to Use the Quickstart Chat Example

1. Follow the instructions in Develop.md in in "sdk-unreal" directory to integrate the SpacetimeDbSdk plugin into your project.
2. Launch the project in Unreal Engine.
3. Create a new level. Press add in the Content Browser, then select "Level" to create a new level.
   • Alternatively, you can open an existing level if you already have one.
4. In the Content Browser, locate the BP folder. Inside, you’ll find an actor named BP_ChatClientActor.

Using the Blueprint Version

• Drag BP_ChatClientActor into your level.
• Press the Play button to start the game.
• BP_ChatClientActor actor connects to localhost and uses the module name quickstart-chat.
• It automatically subscribes to all tables.
• In the Details panel, you can manually call functions to start/end subscriptions and invoke reducers, only while game is running.

Using the C++ Version

• Click "Quickly add to Project" button (cube with a plus icon), select ChatClientActor, and add it to the level.
• Press the Play button to start the game.
• This actor provides the same functionality as the Blueprint version but is implemented in C++.
