If you spawn an item with:
Spawn("UnitHere", x, y, z, 456, angle); // Tid 456
And then proceed to GetActorX/Y/Z/Pitch/Angle(456), it will not work and return zero.
Furthermore, if you move Actor 123 around with a server side script, the clientside puked script will be able to grab the correct data of where it is from actor 123 (the one there from the start).
If you do the same to the spawned actor 456 (the spawned one), it will still return X/Y/Z...etc, as zero.
If you try and tell the server to grab the data, it will successfully return all the values, showing that it is processed on the server side... but considering the client *has* to know its X/Y/Z/angle...etc for it to be rendered, it's already got to have the data yet returns zero.
In addition: If you join with a player after it has moved, the player will be able to use GetActorX..., on the actor that was there from the map start and he will be able to successfully grab the data
Therefore, for some reason [NET] CLIENTSIDE scripts cannot gather data from units spawned with the Spawn function.
--> It will tell you to type puke -100, do so and sit back + watch (try it online, and even better yet try it with another person in the server, will yield the same results as described in the Description category)
Please don't consider removing it though. This helps me do some awesome ACS stuff that I can only do clientside without busting the servers bandwidth up.
