# Get RPG Reference of a Player
To access to the RPG functions you always need to get the **RPGSystem Component** **reference** of the player.
#### Using GetPlayerCharacter
{% hint style="info" %}
Keep in mind that `GetPlayerCharacter()`only returns the **local character reference** and should only be used for **Client-Side stuff in Multiplayer**. (Inside widgets for instance). Make sure to always grab the replicated reference of a PlayerCharacter!
\
If you want to go for Singleplayer only then feel free to use it anywhere.
{% endhint %}
#### Getting the Reference through Server
If you are on a server environment then you can use `GetConnectedPlayer()` from the **GameMode**. It outputs the **RPGSystem Reference**.
Only works if executed from the server
#### Getting **PlayerCharacter Reference** throught the **RPGSystem Reference**.
Just use `GetOwner()` on the **RPGSystem Reference** to get the PlayerCharacter reference
