🔧 Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial | Execute Code on Client, Server, Listen Server, Dedicated & Standalone

In this compact, high-impact tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to selectively execute code based on runtime context in Unreal Engine 5 — covering Client, Server, Dedicated Server, Listen Server (client vs server), and Standalone modes.

Rather than using the commonly misused Switch Has Authority, I’ll show you a more precise and professional approach using:

✅ Is Local Controller
✅ Has Authority
✅ Get Controlled Pawn → Is Locally Controlled

These methods allow for granular control of execution paths, especially when dealing with the nuanced behavior of Listen Servers.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:
How to control logic flow without using Switch Has Authority.
Distinguishing true Client-only and Server-only logic, even within Listen Servers.
How to make execution decisions using runtime-aware Blueprint nodes.
Clean Blueprint setup for network-safe logic separation.

🧰 Tools Used:
Unreal Engine 5.x
Blueprint Visual Scripting
(No Switch Has Authority used — precise methods only)
