Since the actors are replicated from the server to client (not the other way around!), you’ll need to execute all actions that should affect all players on the server. Basically, in addition to the _Teleport function_, create a _custom event_ (in the same Blueprint) that calls the matching function. In the Details panel of the event, set the _Replicates_ property to _Run On Server_. Then replace your current function call with a call to the event instead. ![56223-customteleporteventonserver.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/f/3/7f33cb3a5f6f84980958a47d5ebc2f7533844c46.png) The server will take care of moving the character and then, because the characters and their movement are replicated, inform all clients about the updated location. The same applies to spawning and destroying actors.
