PhotonNetwork OnParticleCollision(GameObject Other)

Options
Hello all, I've been having a blast using photon networking and have nearly finished my game. A battle royale game similar to PUB-G but with a twist (ed metal) 8P, its vehicles! I have made it pretty far and I am on the final stages of tweaking weapons. I was using Ray Casting but decided to go with particles as I like the more realistic feel they give. Currently OnParticleCollision is working but when I try to get the name of the particle so I am able to properly set the damage float according to which particle hit it doesn't return the particles name. Here is the code I am using. Hope you can help!

this is my firing script which works properly.




void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other)
{
Transform hitTrans;
hitTrans = other.gameObject.transform;
if(hitTrans.gameObject.name == "Flame")
{
this.GetComponent().RPC("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, sideDamage);
}
if (hitTrans != null)
{
if (hitTrans.name == "Flame")
{
this.GetComponent().RPC("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, sideDamage);
}
}

if (other.name == "Fire" && view.isMine)
{
this.GetComponent().RPC("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, AtomBombDamage);
}
if (other.name == "Flame" && view.isMine)
{
this.GetComponent().RPC("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, sideDamage);
}
if(other.transform.name.ToString() == "Flame")
{
this.GetComponent().RPC("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, sideDamage);
}

    The code shows several ways of doing the same thing, so its kinda messy, sorry!!

    Solved it. Here's my solution. Very simple. Didn't expect it to be as simple.
    Instead of comparing the name i instead check the tag of the particle emitter.

    void OnParticleCollision(GameObject other)
    {
    Transform hitTrans;
    hitTrans = other.gameObject.transform;

    if (hitTrans.gameObject.tag == "Flame")
    {
    this.GetComponent().RPC("TakeDamage", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, sideDamage);
    }
    }
