Creating the SocketIO Client on GameInstance_BP

[DrR0bot]

I wanted to know if it is possible to set up the SocketIOClient from GameInstance_BP.

Using Init override. Then pass it to Parent: Init and then Construct Socket IOComponent?

Does socketIO ClientComponent have to be created on an actor_bp? I want to create the client WebSocket on the GameInstance so, it can independent of the game level and actors.

Thanks again for the help!

See https://github.com/getnamo/SocketIOClient-Unreal#statically-constructed-socketioclient-component for blueprint approach or https://github.com/getnamo/SocketIOClient-Unreal#example-fsocketionative-custom-game-instance for c++ approach

Is their any issue or problem that could arise from putting the client on the game instance?
