Help with displaying player names in lobby room

Jacob

Hi!

I'm having a problem with my code, i was trying to follow this tutorial. The code for displaying the players names in the rooms doesn't work, here is the code,

foreach (Player player in PhotonNetwork.PlayerList) //loop through each player and create a player listing
        {
            GameObject tempListing = Instantiate(playerListingPrefab, playersContainer);
            Text tempText = tempListing.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Text>();
            tempText.text = PhotonNetwork.NickName;
        }

and the error is " Assets/Scripts/Photon/CustomMatchmakingRoomController.cs(40,49): error CS0030: Cannot convert type `Photon.Realtime.Player' to `Player' " (Talking about this line of code 'foreach (Player player in PhotonNetwork.PlayerList)')

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Hi @Jacob,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

There is another class with the same name "Player" on your project.
There are three solutions:

1. foreach (var player in PhotonNetwork.PlayerList) //loop through each player and create a player
2. foreach (Photon.Realtime.Player player in PhotonNetwork.PlayerList) //loop through each player and create a player
3. using Player = Photon.Realtime.Player; on top
