LocalMessage
LocalMessages are abstract classes which contain an array of localized text. The PlayerController event ReceiveLocalizedMessage() is used to send messages to a specific player by specifying the LocalMessage class and index. This allows the message to be localized on the client side, and saves network bandwidth since the text is not sent. Actors (such as the GameInfo) use one or more LocalMessage classes to send messages. The BroadcastHandler function BroadcastLocalizedMessage() is used to broadcast localized messages to all the players.
