Re: special event message
I have seen this happen on certain maps. I think it was a Monster Hunt map that did it.
I don't know anything about Unreal Script or Unreal Editor though, so I can't help you.
I imagine though it would be done the same way that names appear in those messages in the top left that say "%player left a small crater" or "you were killed by %killing_player", where "%X" is a placeholder that gets substituted with the appropriate string.
I imagine there's some way to refer to certain properties of actors which are involved in an event.
Like suppose someone touches a button, I imagine that triggers an event which receives information about which player touched the button. Maybe that information gets stored in the event locally as "player" with name "player.name". Then you can go "print message '%player.name touched the button' ".
Like I said, I don't know Unreal editor, this is just what I imagine happens based on my general programming knowledge
