Which types can be used with player custom properties?

sosh

Hi,

I tried adding a value of type Dictionary<OurEnumType, OurOtherType> to the player custom properties, but got the error

Exception: Unexpected - cannot serialize Dictionary with value type: OurEnumType

I'm a bit confused about this error (why OurEnumType would be the problem?), but I'm guessing that what it really means is that it can't serialize the Dictionary - is this the case?

Please could you let me know what types can/cannot be added to custom properties? (or perhaps this is documented somewhere).

Thank you!

Hi @sosh,

The information you are looking for is available in this documentation page.
We will make it available for PUN docs as well soon.

Thanks JohnTube.

Hmm, looks like Dictionary is supported. Any idea why it's not serializing mine?

(I'll post another question for this later)

Please convert enum values to byte or int. Photon can't handle custom default by default.
The issue is not in Dictionary itself but in OurEnumType.

Thanks! One question then - if I used PhotonPeer.RegisterType to register OurEnumType, would it then work (as the key of the dictionary)?
