I ran into a problem where, for some reason, this event is not replicating as intended. The logic should highlight the object when it is being looked at, but for some reason it lights up for all clients only if the server is looking, and if the client is looking, then nothing happens for either the client or the server. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Hey,
What Object is this you are showing? If this is on a Widget then that should be Client side only and therefore no Replication can happen inside of them.

No, its a object on a level, not widget. So I need to replicate it.
It’s a matter of ownership. The item is spawned on the server → hence the server owns the object. You would need to call the server function from an class that you own => player controller or currently possessed character. They in turn can interact with the object via a function and trigger it’s change on the server => which in turn can propagate to the client either by RPC or through a rep_notify if bound to a variable change .
Set the owner of the hovered object inside of your player controller through a server RPC to your own controller (pass it in) and then do an rpc call from the client.
