Hi,
I am setting Room Custom Room Properties on Runtime and it works in Console when I print them, However I want to show them as soon as they're being created.
Here's my code to set the custom room properties:

    private ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable _BookmarkData = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable();  
      
    public void SetBookmarkData()  
    {  
        id++;  
        _BookmarkData[id] = inputTextField.text;  
        PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.CustomProperties = _BookmarkData;

        Debug.Log("ID: " + id);  
        Debug.Log("Text: " + _BookmarkData[id]);

    }  

Code which Doesn't Work (to show Custom Properties)

    public class PanelBookmark_Manager : MonoBehaviour  
    {  
        public Player Player { get; private set; }

        [SerializeField]  
        private TextMeshProUGUI text_bookarmarkText;

        private void Start()  
        {  
            text_bookarmarkText = GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();  
        }

        private void SetPlayerInfo(Player player)  
        {  
            Debug.Log("Working?");  
            text_bookarmarkText.text = player.CustomProperties[1].ToString(); // 1 is a static just to check if it works.  
        }  
    }  

This code doens't display properties/values that are being set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can catch custom room and custom player properties change immediately using:

https://doc-api.photonengine.com/en/pun/v2/interface_photon_1_1_realtime_1_1_i_in_room_callbacks.html#ace378cf7df21ab802b2a0d144264e6c5

Bye,

Update
So far I have been able to display custom player properties but these are displayed locally only not sent on server, is there a setting that needs to be changed in order to display one player properties to others?
Here's the code:

Setting Player Properties

    public void SetBookmarkData()  
    {  
        _BookmarkData[1] = inputTextField.text;  
        PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.CustomProperties = _BookmarkData;  
    }  

Displaying Player Properties

    public void OnClickUpdate()  
    {  
        Debug.Log("Property: " + PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.CustomProperties[1]);  
        text_bookarmarkText.text = PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.CustomProperties[1].ToString();  
    }  

This works locally only, I want others to see this properties on other clients as well.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you need set player properties using this call:

https://doc-api.photonengine.com/en/pun/v2/class_photon_1_1_realtime_1_1_player.html#a73265fc7665581640574dc7e98526c77

OnClickUpdate needs to be called from the pun callback that will inform you about custom property changes:

https://doc-api.photonengine.com/en/pun/v2/interface_photon_1_1_realtime_1_1_i_in_room_callbacks.html#aabe61c5573a351d1abccb7059d252316

Bye,

Jean

Hi Jean,
I am already setting properties with the SetCustomProperties.

Retrieving those properties is an issue which I don't understand how can I get them and show in a text object or console.

This code also doesn't return anything:

    public override void OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate(Player targetPlayer, ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable changedProps)  
    {  
        base.OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate(targetPlayer, changedProps);  
        if (changedProps.ContainsKey("1"))  
        {  
            text_bookarmarkText.text = "Target Player: " + targetPlayer.CustomProperties;  
        }  
    }

HI,
you can read and display every room and player property by using this
Property View
https://github.com/SradnickDev/Photon-Misc/tree/master/Assets/Utilities/Debug/

Its just a debug tool.

I also got something to simplify the work with Room and Player Properties.
https://github.com/SradnickDev/Photon-Misc/blob/master/Assets/Utilities/PropertyHelper.cs

Player Extension
https://github.com/SradnickDev/Photon-Misc/blob/master/Assets/Utilities/PlayerExt.cs
Room Extension
https://github.com/SradnickDev/Photon-Misc/blob/master/Assets/Utilities/RoomExt.cs

//Player example  
var currentScore = PhotonNetwork.localPlayer.GetScore();

//Room example  
var availableTeam = PhotonNetwork.currentRoom.GetTeams();

       }  
   }  

This function is not supposed to return anything, you use that function to be made aware that changedProps set of values were changed, it's a callback. implement that callback in your pun mono behavior and it will be called everytime a property changed.

don't overthink this, it's straight forward :)

Bye,

Jean
