Overridden from AActor

		Name	Description
	void	CheckForErrors()	Function that gets called from within Map_Check to allow this actor to check itself for any potential errors and register them with map check dialog.
	bool	GetReferencedContentObjects ( TArray< UObject* >& Objects )	Used by the "Sync to Content Browser" right-click menu option in the editor.
	void	PostActorCreated()	Called when an actor is done spawning into the world (from UWorld::SpawnActor), both in the editor and during gameplay For actors with a root component, the location and rotation will have already been set.
	void	PostInitializeComponents()	Allow actors to initialize themselves on the C++ side after all of their components have been initialized, only called during gameplay

Overridden from UObject

		Name	Description
	FString	GetDetailedInfoInternal()	This function actually does the work for the GetDetailedInfo() and is virtual.
	void	GetLifetimeReplicatedProps ( TArray< FLifetimeProperty >& OutLi... )	Returns the properties used for network replication, this needs to be overridden by all actor classes with native replicated properties
