void AMyChatActor::BeginPlay()
{
    Super::BeginPlay();
    auto* TikTool = GetGameInstance()->GetSubsystem<UTikToolLiveSubsystem>();
    if (!TikTool) return;

    // Bind to chat events
    TikTool->OnChatEvent.AddDynamic(this, &AMyChatActor::HandleChat);
    TikTool->OnGiftEvent.AddDynamic(this, &AMyChatActor::HandleGift);

    // Connect (uses DefaultUniqueId from Project Settings)
    TikTool->Connect();
}

void AMyChatActor::HandleChat(const FTikToolChatEvent& Event)
{
    UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("%s: %s"),
        *Event.User.Nickname, *Event.Comment);
}
