Can't get my rooms info

jamal1920

I've managed to create a room, and when it is created it goes to a new scene, but in this scene I want to get the room info so it knows what map to go to as this room is a waiting room. I have made a custom room property for the map "m" and assigned it a string variable called sm. but when I add code to the waiting room scene to see the roominfo i get the error.

Assets\WaitingRoomController.cs(13,19): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'RoomInfo' does not exist in the namespace 'Photon.Realtime' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I found that this could be an issue with vsc code so I have uninstalled it and installed visual studio instead but that has not fixed it.

the code to create my room in my menu scene is:

public void CreateGame() {
RoomOptions options = new RoomOptions();
options.MaxPlayers = 12;
options.CustomRoomProperties = new Hashtable() {{"m", SM}};
PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom(CreateGameInput.text, options, TypedLobby.Default);
}

the code to check my room info in my waitingroom scene is:

void Start()
{
Debug.Log(Photon.Realtime.RoomInfo.ToString());
}

I have also tried:

void Start()
{
Debug.Log(Photon.Realtime.Room.RoomInfo.ToString());
}

Any help would be much appreciated, if you need to know anything else about the code please let me know

Hi, did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem, getting the room properties are not working.
It is impressive that I can't find ANY info how to get room properties with a direct example, not even from the documentation, LOL.

Custom properties are mentioned in the doc for matchmaking and also on the page about Synchronization And State.

The problem above is totally not about the properties as such. The error

The type or namespace name 'RoomInfo' does not exist

is about the code referencing other code.
Normally, Unity should allow you to reference code from the Realtime API. You did add

using Photon.Realtime;

in your namespace or before the class?
This may also be related to a bug in Unity, which did not write the project files correctly. You might want to try a different version of Unity. We can only recommend using a LTS version, such as 2020.3.x or 2019.4.x.
