"Display Custom Startup Message on BeginPlay"

This Blueprint is triggered during the BeginPlay event of an Actor. Upon initialization, it executes a PrintString function from KismetSystemLibrary to display a custom debug message on both the screen and the output log. The displayed message is:

"Hello World from R3D HILLS"

Key features of the logic:

✅ Event Trigger: ReceiveBeginPlay — ensures the message is shown as soon as the actor starts in the game world.

🖥️ On-Screen Debug: The message appears in red (LinearColor: R=1,G=0,B=0,A=1) with default duration.

📝 Log Output: The same string is also printed in the Output Log.

🧪 Development Only: Execution of this node is limited to the development environment, not shipping builds.
