Tried it myself. You can set the “Test Text” as replicated with OnRep, so the client can receive a notification when it changes on the server. I then run the role verification in the BeginPlay only at the server, checking the controller role using GetController()->HasAuthority() to set the character variable to Server or Client whether it has authority or not.

So the flow is something like this:

• BeginPlay run at the Server for each character and we verify whether its controller has authority or not, setting the OnRep variable appropriately.
• Each client receives the variable modification, and changes the TextRender text locally.

I hope this helps

I tried your method. Its working, but there is an issue. If the client shoots the server then the text renderer reads ‘CLIENT’ on the server as well. It is giving me accessed none on the ‘GetControllerNode’ when the character is respawned.

And If I do a ‘isValid’ check the setText is not running on the client.
