2. Add Components

PlayerController — Add UERPChatComponent:

UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
UERPChatComponent* ChatComponent;

// In constructor
ChatComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UERPChatComponent>(TEXT("ChatComponent"));

PlayerState — Add UERPSocialComponent:

UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
UERPSocialComponent* SocialComponent;

Character (optional) — Add UERPLanguageComponent and UERPChatBubbleComponent:

UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
UERPLanguageComponent* LanguageComponent;

UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly)
UERPChatBubbleComponent* ChatBubble;

3. Initialize the Subsystem

In your GameMode BeginPlay:

UERPChatSubsystem* ChatSub = GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UERPChatSubsystem>();
ChatSub->SetConfig(YourChatConfig);

4. Register Players

In your PlayerState BeginPlay:

UERPChatSubsystem* ChatSub = GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UERPChatSubsystem>();
ChatSub->RegisterPlayer(PlayerId, DisplayName, this);

5. Build Your Chat UI

Create a Widget Blueprint inheriting from UERPChatWidgetBase and bind to the chat component in your HUD.
