Channel Switching (Map Channels)

Overview

UMIPSwitchChannelObjectHelper is a small helper UObject that registers a JSON callback (e.g. socket-backed) to FetchChannels for a given map name and broadcasts OnChannelsFetchedDelegate with TArray<FMIPChannelInfo>. Used with UMIPSwitchChanelContainerWidget (typo in engine name: “Chanel”) for UI that lists channel instances and switches the player’s channel context.
