Can anyone tell me which of these is correct...

1. Set a network variable using SetNetworkLocalInteger()
2. Variable is sent to Clients
3. GetNetworkClientInteger() gets the value from a local source

or

1. Set a network variable using SetNetworkLocalInteger()
2. Variable is stored locally to the client that sets it
3. GetNetworkClientInteger() retrieves the value from the remote client

And as a secondary question, will the same theory apply to messages?

Thanks!

The first is correct, and applies to messages. The actual time between changing a variable and it being sent out to other clients is determined by SetNetworkLatency which sets how often the network thread wakes up to check for any changed variables that need sending out.
