Simple UDP TCP Socket Client

Please check the documentation for up-to-date examples of the functions.  

You can easily use TCP and UDP connections to send and receive data in blueprints with this plugin . This is a client. You can find my server plugin here. You don't need C++. I recommend my JSON plugin for data communication. I recommend this tool for testing and developing. Nativizing may not be possible in the blueprints where the plugin is used. See Documentaiton.

My prices are low all year round.
