What gameplay class is replicated on server but unique to clients?

I thought initially it was PlayerState, but that’s replicated to all clients, and I want to store “sensitive” information like health and spawn info that others dont need to know. I then thought PlayerController, but theres no way to call that on the server because its unique to each client. Is there a class that’s both available to the server and unique to each client, so I can safely manipulate data on it knowing that only that player will receive it?

You can have replication conditions like.

DOREPLIFETIME_CONDITION(AClassName, VarName, COND_OwnerOnly);

You can have this in the PlayerState class so other clients wont have access to its values.

PlayerState, but set the replication to owner only.



void AMyPlayerState::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(TArray< FLifetimeProperty > & OutLifetimeProps) const
{
    Super::GetLifetimeReplicatedProps(OutLifetimeProps);

    DOREPLIFETIME(AMyPlayerState, bSomethingEveryoneShouldGet);

    DOREPLIFETIME_CONDITION(AMyPlayerState, bSomethingTheOwnerShouldNoGet, COND_SkipOwner);

    DOREPLIFETIME_CONDITION(AMyPlayerState, bSomethingOnlyTheOwnerShouldGet, COND_OwnerOnly); <= this one.
}
