--- The MESSAGE class
-- @type MESSAGE
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE
--- # MESSAGE class, extends @{Base#BASE}
--
-- Message System to display Messages to Clients, Coalitions or All.
-- Messages are shown on the display panel for an amount of seconds, and will then disappear.
-- Messages can contain a category which is indicating the category of the message.
--
-- ## MESSAGE construction
--
-- Messages are created with @{Message#MESSAGE.New}. Note that when the MESSAGE object is created, no message is sent yet.
-- To send messages, you need to use the To functions.
--
-- ## Send messages to an audience
--
-- Messages are sent:
--
-- * To a @{Client} using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToClient}().
-- * To a @{Group} using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToGroup}()
-- * To a coalition using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToCoalition}().
-- * To the red coalition using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToRed}().
-- * To the blue coalition using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToBlue}().
-- * To all Players using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToAll}().
--
-- ## Send conditionally to an audience
--
-- Messages can be sent conditionally to an audience (when a condition is true):
--
-- * To all players using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToAllIf}().
-- * To a coalition using @{Message#MESSAGE.ToCoalitionIf}().
