Synchronising weapons using CustomPlayerProperties?

LeytonMate

Hey, i'm trying to synchronise each player's loadout between them and the system I'm using uses CustomPlayerProperties. Here's what I've got now:

void Start()
    {
        //Set the weapon properties
        SetupWeapons();
    }

This is the SetupWeapons() method:

public void SetupWeapons()
    {
        if(view.isMine)
        {
            //Basically cramming everything into one string.
            //Should look like BODY:(body)|BARREL:(barrel)|OB:(overbarrel)|UB:(underbarrel)

            string WeaponString = "BODY:" + WeaponManager.instance.ourWeapon.body + "|" + "BARREL:" + WeaponManager.instance.ourWeapon.barrel;
            if (WeaponManager.instance.ourWeapon.overBarrel != null)
            {
                WeaponString += "|OB:" + WeaponManager.instance.ourWeapon.overBarrel;
            }
            if (WeaponManager.instance.ourWeapon.underBarrel != null)
            {
                WeaponString += "|UB:" + WeaponManager.instance.ourWeapon.underBarrel;
            }
            ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable props = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable();
            props.Add("Weapon 1", WeaponString);
            PhotonNetwork.player.SetCustomProperties(props);

            //LoadWeapon((string)view.owner.CustomProperties["Weapon 1"]);
        }
    }

I'm a bit stuck as this is done when the player spawns, so later players don't get this. Any help? I essentially just want to send the weapon property on start, and for other players to get it.

Then, to get the properties, it uses OnPhotonPlayerPropertiesUpdate() to get the property for the weapon and instantiate the parts.

public override void OnPhotonPlayerPropertiesChanged(object[] changedProps)
    {
        PhotonPlayer player = changedProps[0] as PhotonPlayer;
        print(player.NickName);
        ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable props = changedProps[1] as ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable;
        //Is the prop's owner us?
        if (view.owner == player)
            weapnDebugText.text = props["Weapon 1"].ToString(); //set the text above our head to our weapon string, debugging purposes

        //{
        //    //If so, load the weapon
        //    ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable props = changedProps[1] as ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable;
        //}
    }

for some reason, the guy who joins after doesn't get his text updated?
