Instantiate with photonView

Jesper21

Hi,

I need to instantiate an object with photonview on it, and then parent it via an RPC. However im totally stuck!
This code works fine if the object doesn't need a photonview on it. But i need it to have a photonview on it.

this.photonView.RPC("SomeRPC", PhotonTargets.All, "ModelName");

[RPC]
void SomeRPC(string modelName)
{
	GameObject modelID;
    modelID = Instantiate(Resources.Load(modelName)) as GameObject;
    modelID.transform.parent = thePlayer;
	modelID.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;
	modelID.transform.Rotate(Vector3.zero);
}

And if i use PhotonNetwork.Instantiate. I can't find the gameobject i just instantiated..
So basically what i need is to instantiate an object with photonview and then let everybody know the parenting but im lost right now. So i would really appreciate any help!

The game object you create is returned by Instantiate:
GameObject newGo = PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(...)
You can only instantiate prefabs that are in a "Resources" folder which have a PhotonView attached and only by name.

In best case, you find some rule for the parenting that doesn't need a RPC.
Or at least replace the RPC by using the Instantiate overload with the object[] called "data". You could pass the parent and access it when the object gets instantiated.
