How does one know when another player's customProperty changed?

Philipp

Hi! When using PhotonNetwork.SetPlayerCustomProperties(properties), the documentation says it also updates the value for others. My question is, how can I know on the other client when a property of the other player changed? Is there some kind of event I can subscribe to, e.g. in OnEvent(EventData photonEvent) in my MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks object? Thanks!

Philipp

I just realized it's event PropertiesChanged, (byte) 253, in above-mentioned OnEvent().

All is solved then for now, I'm leaving this thread for anyone who might stumble on it in search looking for the same answer.

Hi @Philipp,

There is OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate which is the callback for local or remote player's properties changed event.

Philipp

Great, that's even better! Thank you!

Philipp

Sorry, where would I put the OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate()? (I have a Person object which derives from MonoBehaviourPun, and includes a photonView.Owner, but in that Person class it won't fire.)

Implement IInRoomCallbacks in Person and do not forget to register and unregister callbacks as shown here or here.

Philipp

Thanks! (It looks like the IInRoomCallbacks are of a more global, above-Person nature, so if I implement this approach I might move them to my generic network handler where I'm currently already handling the PropertiesChanged PropertiesChanged.)
