How to use SetCustomProperties?

KirillAnto

Hello, please help.
I can't figure out how to synchronize a boolean variable using SetCustomProperties.
// Script closing and opening the door.
Code:

public void Invert(Transform player)
	{
		target = player;
		isOpen = (bool)Photon.Realtime.Player.CustomProperties["IsOpen"];
		ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable hash = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable();
        hash.Add("IsOpen",isOpen);
		 isOpen = !isOpen;
		Photon.Realtime.Player.SetCustomProperties(hash);
		if(isOpen == true)
		{
			gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = AudioClosed;
			gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
		}
		else
		{
			gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = AudioOpen;
			gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
		} 
	}

ERRORS:

Assets/door.cs(53,41): error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member `Photon.Realtime.Player.CustomProperties'

Assets/door.cs(57,26): error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member `Photon.Realtime.Player.SetCustomProperties(ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable, ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable, Photon.Realtime.WebFlags)'

Hi @KirillAnto,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

1. You need to change Photon.Realtime.Player (which is a namespaced class name and not a variable name) with the actual reference to the player object instance.
For example:

local player: PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.

2. There is already a well-known (default, predefined, native) ROOM property named "IsOpen" (since it's not a custom property its key is not really a string though). So if you want to change its value:

PhotonNetwork.CurrentRoom.IsOpen = isOpen;

But maybe you want to have a PLAYER property, a CUSTOM one, named "IsOpen"?

I highly recommend starting and finishing "PUN Basics Tutorial".
