PGOS Overlay provides chat features that can adapt to a wide variety of scenarios, including:

overview

1. Text Chat​

1.1 Emoji and Sticker​

You can configure static and dynamic sticker lists locally, allowing players to select and send stickers in the PGOS Overlay chat interface.

1.2 Sticker Configuration​

Sticker lists can be configured in /PgosWeaver/Styles/PgosStyleSheet.PgosStyleSheet.

❗ Note: This configuration feature is a temporary solution. In the future, sticker lists will probably be configured on the PGOS Web Portal back-end so they can be dynamically downloaded by clients via HTTP.

2. ChatView Widget​

ChatView widget provides group chat capabilities outside of the main Overlay interface. It can be embedded in any game interface.

2.1 Integrating​

Create ChatView widget at first, then bind the events you need init

You need to cast the resulting Widget into the type UPgosChatPopoutView_BP, then call Set Focus to Input/Hide Input if you want to mannually change the input focus of ChatView out of the default behaviour. activate

It's similar in C++.

// Create Login Widget and Setup
UUserWidget* ChatWidget = UPgosBlueprintFunctionLibrary::CreateOverlayWidget(ParentPanel, EPgosOverlayWidgetType::ChatView);
UPanelSlot* PanelSlot = ParentPanel->AddChild(ChatWidget);

// PanelSlot: setup layout here
// ...

// Listen Events
UPgosChatPopoutView* ChatView = Cast<UPgosChatPopoutView>(ChatWidget);
// OnInputFocusChanged: called after ChatView gained or lost the input focus
ChatView->OnInputFocusChanged.AddUObject(...);
// OnInputFinished: called after the User finish his input (usually with pressing `Enter`)
ChatView->OnInputFinished.AddUObject(...);

// Available Method(s):
ChatView->SendChatMessage(TEXT("text message here"));
