Rooms with password

Random question!

(please forgive me if you encounter grammar mistakes, since English is not my native language)

Is there a way to create rooms with paswords? I have done that using custom room options, but the solution is quite difficult to implement and also not that efficient. I have googled for a built-in solution but it seems there is none, if this is the case, what is the reason for Photon developpers not to implement such a feature?

Greetings from Perú :)

you can save a String in the Custom Property Hastable of the room.

before a player actually joins a Modal will show and ask to verfiy the password

When creating a room

  ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable table = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable();  
        table.Add("secret",  "pw1234");



RoomOptions roomOptions = new RoomOptions();   
    roomOptions.CustomRoomProperties = table;

 roomOptions.CustomRoomPropertiesForLobby =  return new string[] { "secret" };

when showing rooms

 RoomInfo[] roomInfos = PhotonNetwork.GetRoomList();



   foreach (RoomInfo roomInfo in myListObjects) {  
  string password = (string)room.CustomProperties["secret"];  
        }

BTW Room password is a nice idea :smile:

There is no built-in mechanism for password protecting a room. Properties are a workaround.
Alternatively you can hide rooms from the room listing lobbies (with IsVisible = false) and then knowing the room name is like knowing the password for the room.
