How to set MasterClient in SharedMode?

Hello everyone,

I want to set someone special as a MasterClient. But I don't know how to do this. In Pun 2 I was able to "PhotonNetwork.MasterClient = Player". How can I do this in Fusion?

Hi @Mami ,

The concept of MasterClient only applies if you are running Fusion in SharedMode, which is similar to how PUN works.

If that is the case, the Peer that has created the Game Session will initially be the MasterClient of the Session, and you can check this by looking at:

Runner.IsSharedModeMasterClient : https://doc-api.photonengine.com/en/fusion/current/class_fusion_1_1_network_runner.html#a8874f7b7126ad02fafd5895fecc84586

Also, on the Fusion API, there is no way to force one of the Peer to be the MasterClient of the Session, this only changes when the current MasterClient leaves the Session, and another peer is automatically selected to be the new `MasterClient.
