How to use IPunPrefabPool

Hello,

i am trying to use IPunPrefabPool to instantiate objects from AssetBundles,

but so far it is not working (other players cant see anything, the function is not triggered)

public class PhotonCustomPool : MonoBehaviour, IPunPrefabPool {

    public void Destroy(GameObject gameObject) {  
          
    }

    public GameObject Instantiate(string prefabId, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation) {

        AssetBundle bundle = StreamingAssetManager.LoadAsset(prefabId);  
        GameObject pet2 = null;  
        if (bundle) {  
            var loadAsset = new AssetBundleRequest();  
            foreach (var assetBundleName in bundle.GetAllAssetNames()) {  
                pet2 = bundle.LoadAsset<GameObject>(assetBundleName);  
                if (pet2 != null) break;  
            }

            pet2 = UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate(pet2) as GameObject;  
            bundle.Unload(false); 

        }

        return pet2;   
    }      
}

Some other Class

public class PlayerNetwork_Pets : MonoBehaviour  
{  
    public PhotonCustomPool photonCustomPool;

  public void makePet() {  
            GameObject pet2 = photonCustomPool.Instantiate("1", new Vector3(), Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3()));  
    }  
}  

any help or hint would be appreciated

After hours or trying I found a work around

https://doc.photonengine.com/en-us/pun/v1/gameplay/instantiation

void SpawnPlayerEverywhere()  
{  
    // You must be in a Room already

    // Manually allocate PhotonViewID  
    int id1 = PhotonNetwork.AllocateViewID();

    PhotonView photonView = this.GetComponent<PhotonView>();  
    photonView.RPC("SpawnOnNetwork", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered, transform.position, transform.rotation, id1);  
}

public Transform playerPrefab; //set this in the inspector

[PunRPC]  
void SpawnOnNetwork(Vector3 pos, Quaternion rot, int id1)  
{  
    Transform newPlayer = Instantiate(playerPrefab, pos, rot) as Transform;

    // Set player's PhotonView  
    PhotonView[] nViews = newPlayer.GetComponentsInChildren<PhotonView>();  
    nViews[0].viewID = id1;  
}

That seems to be much easier =)

I believe the previous code could work if I used

  private void Awake() {  
         PhotonNetwork.PrefabPool = photonCustomPool;  
    }


 public void makePet() {  
            GameObject pet2 = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate("1", new Vector3(), Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3()));  
    }  

However, this would screw up my existing code because it looks like there can be only one Pool in Photon.
