Explains the basic client only {Camera, HUD}, client and server {Pawn, Character, PlayerState, GameState}, and server-only {Controller} junction points.

The shared pointer types are optimal for higher level or lower frequency access.
.IsValid() is used on shared pointers to check if they are NULL.
