Transfer Power Ups When Owner Leaves Room

Hey all,

It's my first post here! Anyway, I have a situation with power ups in my game. Basically my game is a multiplayer FPS with power ups/downs floating around the levels. I currently have only the master client spawn the power ups, because if all players spawn them, every power up spawn point would be filled with how many people are in the room. So having the master control the power ups works great, except if the master leaves the room, they take all of the power ups with them. I need to find a way to transfer all of the power ups to the next master before they are all destroyed.

My first idea was to change the ownerId of each power up to the next master but was told by someone that I can't/shouldn't do that. So my next idea is to create a 'ghost' player ahead of the first player who creates the room. This ghost player will control the power spawns which subsequently control the power ups.

Here is my code:
PowerSpawns.cs
[code2=csharp]using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PowerSpawns : Photon.MonoBehaviour {

private string chosen; // The power up to be spawned (random)
private bool isEmpty; // Tells whether the spawn point is empty or not
private GameObject newPowerUp; // The new power up game object

// All PowerUp names
private string[] powers
= new string[10] {"moreSpeed", "lessSpeed", "moreJump", "noJump", "noMovement", "increaseDamage",
"decreaseDamage", "healthPack", "invincibility", "invisibility"};


// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
isEmpty = true;
}

// Each spawn point will need to constantly ask if it it empty
// And then only the master client can spawn a new power up
void Update() {
if (isEmpty && PhotonNetwork.isMasterClient) {
isEmpty = false;
StartCoroutine(spawnIt ());
}
}

// IEnumerator function to spawn a new power up after x (random) amount of seconds
private IEnumerator spawnIt() {
chosen = powers [Random.Range (0, 9)];

int x = Random.Range (10, 20);
yield return new WaitForSeconds (x);

newPowerUp = (GameObject)PhotonNetwork.Instantiate (chosen, transform.position, transform.rotation, 0);
}

// Public function allowing power ups to tell their spawn point is empty when applicable
[RPC]
public void setEmpty() {
isEmpty = true;
}

private void onMasterClientSwitched(PhotonPlayer newMaster) {
Debug.Log ("Master left the room. New master: " + newMaster);
}
}[/code2]

And PowerUps.cs
[code2=csharp]using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PowerUp : Photon.MonoBehaviour {

private PlayerTD player; // Reference to player who triggered the power up
private PhotonView puPV; // Reference to power up's photon view
private PowerSpawns[] myParent; // Used to find the power up's spawn point
private float wait = 5f; // Power up's effect time

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
myParent = FindObjectsOfType<PowerSpawns>();
puPV = GetComponent<PhotonView> ();

// Start life time coroutine
StartCoroutine (lifeTime());
}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
if (other.tag == "Player") {
player = other.GetComponent<PlayerTD>();

// Find the power up function
if (transform.gameObject.name.Contains("moreSpeed")) {
StartCoroutine(moreSpeed());
} else if (transform.gameObject.name.Contains("lessSpeed")) {
StartCoroutine(lessSpeed());
} else if (transform.gameObject.name.Contains("moreJump")) {

StartCoroutine(healthPack());
} else if (transform.gameObject.name.Contains("invincibility")) {
StartCoroutine(invincibility());
} else if (transform.gameObject.name.Contains("invisibility")) {
StartCoroutine(invisibility());
} else {
Debug.Log (transform.gameObject.name + " is not a valid pick up name");
}

}

// Find the spawn point and set it as empty
private void findSpawn() {
