Hide the Actor only on the owning client.

I have a replicated actor, and I want to hide it only for the character that interacts with it. I partially achieved this, but there is a problem: when the server interacts with the actor, it affects all clients.

void ABaseCharacter::Interact(ABaseItem* Item)
{
	ServerInteract(Item);
}

void ABaseCharacter::ServerInteract_Implementation(ABaseItem* Item)
{
	if (Item)
	{
		Item->SetOwner(this);
	}

	MulticastInteract(Item);
}

void ABaseCharacter::MulticastInteract_Implementation(ABaseItem* Item)
{
    if (IsLocallyControlled())
	{
		Item->SetActorHiddenInGame(true);
	}
	
}

Don’t multicast. Just call Item->SetActorHiddenInGame(true); on the server inside of ServerInteract_Implementation. The visibility will replicate to the clients automatically if the actor is replicated.

or if you dont want it replicated (client only) use Visibility instead of SetActorHidden which is replicated by default i think
