How do I access a value of the masterclient and then apply it to a certain script on every player?
So I want to be able to sync a variable (a seed) from a hashtable across the network and then apply that seed to every other player's World script which handles the seed, but I do not know how to use the functions that Photon use to handle this kind of stuff, anyways, here's my script:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Hashtable = ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable;
public class NetworkPlayer : Photon.MonoBehaviour
{
Vector3 realPosition = Vector3.zero;
Quaternion realRotation = Quaternion.identity;
public Hashtable myValues = new Hashtable();
void Start ()
{
myValues.Add(1, World.currentWorld.seed.ToString());
Debug.Log("Hashtable seed = " + myValues[1].ToString());
}
void Update ()
{
if(PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient == false)
{
}
if(PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient == true)
{
PhotonNetwork.player.SetCustomProperties(myValues);
//Is this code below right? I want to be able to print out the seed of the customProperties of my own player so I can verify that it is indeed working properly
//Debug.Log("Custom Property Seed = " + PhotonNetwork.player.customProperties[1].ToString());
}
if(photonView.isMine)
{
//Do nothing
}
else
{
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, realPosition, 0.2f);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp (transform.rotation, realRotation, 0.2f);
}
}
public void OnPhotonSerializeView(PhotonStream stream, PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
if(stream.isWriting)
{
stream.SendNext(transform.position);
stream.SendNext(transform.rotation);
}
if(stream.isReading)
{
realPosition = (Vector3)stream.ReceiveNext();
realRotation = (Quaternion)stream.ReceiveNext();
}
}
}

If you want to sync a seed, it sounds like you won't change it often. You can do that much better by using Custom Properties.

Right, I've now made a hashtable for my seed value, but how do I access it?Tobias said:If you want to sync a seed, it sounds like you won't change it often. You can do that much better by using Custom Properties.

Here's what I've come up with so far:if(PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient == false) { seed = PhotonNetwork.room.CacheProperties(Hashtable() {{"seed"}}); }

Did you read that linked page?
"All updates take a moment to distribute but all clients will update room.customProperties and player.customProperties accordingly."
You need to check isMasterClient == true.0 -
I checked it and I understand what you mean, but I need to access the new variable, so if I update the seed, then I want to be able to change my own seed if I'm not the masterclient but I don't know how to access that specific variable from room.customProperties.Tobias said:Did you read that linked page?

There is no new variable. It's a key in room.customProperties.
If more than one player have to set a seed, each needs a separate key.
Of any client can replace the seed, either can use room.SetCustomProperties() and put in a Hashtable with the key to update and the new value.0 -
Okay, how would one access one of those keys?Tobias said:There is no new variable. It's a key in room.customProperties.

Hello, you could also have used an RPC method for that. The master client establish the seeds, and call the RPC for all the players.
