Why is there only a ‘get remote role’ function?

Sometimes I want to execute something in actor BP only when role==ROLE_Authority. I think that’s fairly reasonable. Not sure what I’m missing here. Is there a different / more convenient approach to do this?

Thanks in advance.

The role itself is not exposed in blueprints, but there exists a “HasAuthority” actor blueprint node that does return exactly Role == ROLE_Authority.

Thanks for the answer and you are right.

For this particular question though I believe what I needed was node “IsLocallyControlled”. I didn’t know the right question at the time. Just in case anyone sees this and needs the same thing.
