Non-serious replication questions

This is something thats boggled me for a while (though it has no real impact on anything) but what would happen with MyVar replication wise if it were replicated like this:

Code:

reliable if(True==True)
    MyVar;

Or this:

Code:

reliable if(FRand()<0.5)
    MyVar;

The same thing that will always happen will happen - if the condition is true it will be replicated, if it is false it will not be.

but which 'direction' will it be going?

Will the data get all mashed up as the client tries to tell the server what to do with it, while the server tries to tell the client what to do with it?

I remember reading, on the Wiki I believe, that using function calls in replication statements is a bad idea as it has a chance of causing serious slowdown. As for true=true, I have no clue.

Actually, both of them should keep the server an client in pretty good sync with each other. The question becomes what happens if the variable changes on one end. Theres a chance it could be changed back by replication before changing the var on the other end.

I don't think variable replication works in the client-to-server direction, no matter what you specify in the replication condition.

What about simply coding a class with this type of replication to see what happens?

Its works for AutonomousProxy actors and their children.
