Server Custom Properties

kriller509

I've (many times) gone over many documents regarding this topic, but they all appear to be outdated. The "Matchmaking guide" which I so often stumble across doesn't even work on its own right with the example code they provide.

After much research, the best I could do in terms of custom room properties was this:
string roomName;
byte maxPlayers;
PhotonNetwork.CreateRoom(roomName, new RoomOptions() {MaxPlayers = maxPlayers}, null);

And that just barely scratches the surface of what I'm trying to do. I need to be able to define map & game mode as a room property and make sure that it's able to be found in the lobby. I've tried a thousand different ways of going about this, but whatever doc I read just simply doesn't work in Unity (My only assumption is an API change occurred).

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! I just need two strings ("Map" and "Gamemode") to be defined, but I can't seem to even do that much.

        RoomOptions newRoomOptions = new RoomOptions();
	newRoomOptions.IsOpen = true;
	newRoomOptions.IsVisible = true;
	newRoomOptions.MaxPlayers = (byte)maxPlayers;
	
	newRoomOptions.CustomRoomProperties = new ExitGames.Client.Photon.Hashtable(); 
	newRoomOptions.CustomRoomProperties.Add("map", (string)map);
	newRoomOptions.CustomRoomProperties.Add("gameMode", (string)gameMode);
	
	newRoomOptions.CustomRoomPropertiesForLobby = new String[2];  
	newRoomOptions.CustomRoomPropertiesForLobby[0] = "map";
	newRoomOptions.CustomRoomPropertiesForLobby[1] = "gameMode";
	
	PhotonNetwork.JoinOrCreateRoom((string)roomName, newRoomOptions, null);

Hi @kriller509,

Thank you for choosing Photon!

Please tell us which code snippet and what error do you get when you try the example so we can fix it for everyone.
