{% hint style="warning" %}
The system currently uses Unreal RPCs to broadcast messages to recipients. However, in the upcoming project, the workload will be offloaded to a backend server, and communication will be established through Socket.IO.

## Overview

Multiplayer HyperLink Chat System is the first on the marketplace to enable Item Linking in your chat. Item Linking is a common feature in multiplayer RPG games and survival games, but I couldn't find any other product on the marketplace that can do that, so I created it for myself and decided to offer it as marketplace content.

Customized Text Layout to properly wrap ImageDecorators, enabling Emoticons for this chat system.

With this plugin, you can share and showcase items by generating clickable links within the chat, as well as the ability to create multiple hyperlinked text items within your chat easily.\
\
You can create up to four chat tabs, which can be added or removed. They can also be dragged around and attached or detached from the tab container. Each chat tab has its own set of Allowed Chat Channels that can be configured in real-time.<br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kumobooks.gitbook.io/mip-hyperlink-chat-system/welcome-to-mip-multiplayer-hyperlink-chat-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
