-:The clients don't spawn such actors, only the server does. Therefore, spawning or manipulating these actors does not need network bandwidth. Only use it on actors that are always invisible and don't block the movement of players.
+:Actors with this flag will never be spawned clientside, and can only be spawned by the server. As such, these actors will not be synced across the network, using no network bandwidth. Only use it on actors that are always invisible and don't block the movement of players.
