# Receiving messages from Unreal

## Sending messages from Unreal

*Documentation coming soon...*

## Receiving messages on webpage

Pixel stream messages from Unreal Engine will be transmitted utilizing the MessageChannel API. Parse the message string to facilitate data extraction. Each message will contain two properties: `type`, which is consistently set to `ps`, and `message`, encapsulating the data that has been received from Unreal Engine.

```typescript
function onMessage(event: Event) {
     const data = JSON.parse(event.data)
    // handle pixel streaming message
     if (data.type === 'ps') {
         const psMessage = data.message
     }
}
```

## 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://docs.odyssey.stream/embed-in-a-website/pass-messages-to-and-from-unreal/receiving-messages-from-unreal.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.
