hi to the whole community i hope you are doing well!

I'm trying to create a multiplayer FPS game with Pun 2 photon at this moment I can instantiate the players as needed, shoot them, take damage etc ...

I want to add enemies (zombie) in the game.

Until then I managed to instantiate the zombies by attaching a script to game scene and using photonNetwork.InstantiateRoomObject (Combine.Path ...), I can observe them with all clients correctly.

the problem is that when I want to change the names of the zombies (to store them in a GameManager dictionary (ZombieName, Scriptzombie)), it changes only with the master client!

I tried instantiation with RPCs but still nothing, the other clients will receive zoombie.clone in the hierarchy, I have tried everything I have read all the forums but still nothing, that someone can help me it's been several days and night that I try to solve this problem.
Credibly.

for the information at the time of Instantiation you can use

PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(string prefabName, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation, byte group=0, object[] data=null);

and then you can read the data from photonView.InstantiationData in either Start() or

//IPunInstantiateMagicCallback   
public void OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)  
{  
    object[] instantiationData = info.photonView.InstantiationData;  
    // ...  
}

After the Instantiation stage, you might encounter sync problem because the ownership.
As you Instantiate those as Room/Scene object, you migt want to give ownership to specific player just after creation.

thank you very much for answering me,

your trick works like magic, I can now sync a single zombie for all clients and shoot them, kill them etc ...
but the public void function OnPhotonInstantiate (PhotonMessageInfo info) does not work if I instantiate two zombies, I cannot rename each by itself, if I change name both zombies will have the same !!

to better understand me:
in gameManager I instantiate the two zombies as follows:

for (int i = 0; i <2; i ++)
{
nameZomby = i.ToString ();
zombieInstantiated [i] = PhotonNetwork.InstantiateRoomObject (Path.Combine ("PhotonPrefabs", "zombie"), new Vector3 (i, 0, i), Quaternion.identity); //. transform.name = i.ToString ();
}

PS: if I change the name by instantiating them, it will only concern the master client !!

and on the zombie script:
public void OnPhotonInstantiate (PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
object [] instantiationData = info.photonView.InstantiationData;

    transform.name = GameManager.Instance.nameZomby;

    // GameManager.RegisterZombie (transform.name, GetComponent <ZombieScript> ());

    / * foreach (GameObject go in GameRoomManager.Instance.zombieInstantiated)  
    {  
        transform.name = go.name;  
    } * /  
}

it also works only on the master client!

As I mentioned, put the zombie name inside Instatiate data

InstantiateRoomObject (prefabName,  position, rotation, 0, new object[]{"zombieName"})

and then

var zName = (string)photonView.InstantiationData[0];
