Update player's custom properties

RaycoSantana

Im a little confused on how to do this, I have been searching around and found out I can use
[code2=csharp]ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable PlayerProperties = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable() { { "Deaths", 0 } };

....
....
....
if (photonView.isMine){
foreach (PhotonPlayer PlayerScore in PhotonNetwork.playerList.Where(i => i.ID == LastAttackerID)){
PlayerScore.AddScore(1);
}
foreach (PhotonPlayer PlayerScore in PhotonNetwork.playerList.Where(i => i.ID == photonView.owner.ID)){
PlayerScore.customProperties["Deaths"] = (int)PlayerScore.customProperties["Deaths"]+1;


}
....
....
//access:
GUILayout.Label(PlayerScore.customProperties["Deaths"].ToString());[/code2]

but that only updates on the owners client it does not automaticaly synch with on the other clients, what Im missing?

Player.customProperties is only for reading (see doc on this field).
To write property use Player.SetCustomProperties method.

For use SetCustomProperties I need to reference the original hashtable, right? the original hashtable is in a different script its not like thats a problem but could you make a little example how would you update a property using SetCustomProperties, please

I been reading and it seems to be done by using hashtable.add("property", value); but Im not sure, this is the first time I have used hashtables so I dont know if I need to reference the original table or not

Thank you

Instead of PlayerScore.customProperties["Deaths"] = (int)PlayerScore.customProperties["Deaths"]+1
you need something like
PlayerScore.SetPlayerScore.SetCustomProperties( new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable(){ { "Deaths", (int)PlayerScore.customProperties["Deaths"]+1 } } )
This will update "Deaths" player property leaving other properties intact.

Hello I have a fps kit. When I set custom properties works well but when I get for a particular photonviev like this int killplayer=(int)photonView.owner.customProperties["Kills"]; return null reference.

Make sure "Kills" is set in the customProperties. With 0 kills, it's likely not set at all.
Also make sure you get the naming right everywhere you use "Kills". It's case sensitive, too.
