I saw some posts about "InstantiateSceneObject" which seems like a great solution for AI in a game. I have a couple of questions.

- Is this feature ready? Or still getting the kinks out.

- Can ANYONE Instantiate a Scene Object or only the current Master?

- Do you still use OnSerialize? I guess instead of PhotonView.isMine you could just use isMaster...

Thanks!

    1) We didn't get error reports about this specific feature and in our tests it worked.
    Yes, it's safe to use.

    2) Only the master client can Instantiate (and control) scene objects.
    I added this to the doc for next version.

    3) Yes. On the Master, isMine will be true for these. All others read what you send.

    I read somewhere else that PhotonNetwork.Destroy didn't really destroy these objects that they stayed buffered and when new people came in, they still got them.

    Is this still the case?

    By now, we clear the buffer for that object.
    If it stays around, it is a bug.

    I downloaded the lates PUN last night. Does it include all of this, or is it missing some of this?

    Thanks!

    This should be in completely.
    You downloaded it with reference doc and full source. It would be faster to look it up ;)
