Time for action – Respect my authority!

Once again, back to AwesomeWeaponUpgrade.

1. Let's change the PostBeginPlay function a bit:

   simulated function PostBeginPlay()
   {
       `log("PostBeginPlay====================");
   
       if(Role == ROLE_Authority)
           `log("I am running on the server!");
       else
           `log("I am running on the client!");
   }

2. Compile the code.

3. Run the server and the client. Now let's take a look at what happens.

4. Run to the trigger, then take a look at the server's log:

   [0014.57] ScriptLog: PostBeginPlay====================
   [0014.57] ScriptLog: I am running on the server!

5. Now let's take a look at the client:

   [0010.53] ScriptLog: PostBeginPlay====================
   [0010.53] ScriptLog: I am running on the client!

What just happened?

This is useful when we want both the client and the server to run a function, but we want them to have different responses to that function. As an example, since particle effects don't need to be spawned on the server since they'd just waste processing...
