Initialization 5.3

1. A. You need to inherit your GameInstance class from DiscordGameInstance:

1. B. If you're using unreals default GameInstance You'll need to create your own and inherit it from DiscordGameInstance then set your project to use that class in your project settings:

I called my instance I_GameInstance (but just set it to whatever yours is called):

2. Now that we are inheriting from DiscordGameInstance, we can set out App IDs. Simpily override event init and call SetAppIDs while passing your IDs into the params:

Note : AppID IS REQUIRED, Steam is OPTIONAL

Set Basic/All Presence

There are two ways of setting presence, SetBasicPresence and SetAllPresence; Basic sets just the need to know features, lick icon, state, details and time elasped.

Finally, once we have set our basic/all presence we can send it to the discord API using SetDiscordPresence:

SetDiscordPresence also has a clear function build into it to clear the presence during runtime if you need to switch it when you switch maps/activities:
