How should I get room state back when I have already forwarded it to web (using playfab webhooks)?

    Hi @Mahnoor47,

    Thank you for choosing Photon!

    Assuming you saved the room state already somewhere, first load it.
    If you saved it as a stringified JSON or another format, parse it to its original format.

    Return it in PathCreate webhooks in the "State" JSON property of the response:

    {"ReturnCode":0, "State": state}

    @JohnTube I get you but..
    I don't know how to save room state( by room state I mean room properties and all), can you help with it?
    I have just done this to web forward it: 
                Hashtable last = new Hashtable();
            last["WN"] = PhotonNetwork.player.NickName;
            Hashtable expectedValue = new Hashtable();
            PhotonNetwork.room.SetCustomProperties(last, expectedValue, true);

    Hi @Mahnoor47,

    In the PathClose, Type="Save": save the State somewhere in PlayFab.
    I'm not sure what's the best practice nowadays, you should ask on their forum.
    When I did the Memory Demo CloudScript I used SharedGroups.
    So a room state would be, stripped first to not exceed PlayFab limits (or even split into two parts) then saved as stringified JSON in the one or two (or more) key/values. The keys could contain the GameId / Room name.
    In PathCreate, Type="Load" retrieve that State, parse it and reconstruct it then return it to Photon.

    I uploaded your script on cloud and it gives this error.
    Operation 226 failed in a server-side plugin. Check the configuration in the Dashboard. Message from server-plugin: Failed to load state from https://67FF.playfablogic.com/webhook/1/prod/MCX9XTHYP9NAHOZZ7OEJPCH83IPFWGAUFZMXYKXRS4E47BCWMF/RoomCreated? : Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Error converting value -1 to type 'System.Byte'.

    what should I do?

    Hi @Mahnoor47,

    Sorry about the delay!
    replace ResultCode: -1 with ResultCode: 255 (or any other value from 1 to 255).
    I have committed the fix. Thanks for pointing this out, it used to work before as we have updated the Newtonsoft.Json library on the server and is now more strict.

    This is the error I get now?
    I have used exactly your script. Is there any changes I suppose to do?

    Hmm weird, it could be that the error caught is a custom PlayFab error that has no 'name' and no 'message'.
    Could you try replacing
    return {ResultCode: 255, Message: e.name + ': ' + e.message};
    with
    return {ResultCode: 255, Message: e};

    This is the error now.
    What should I do now?

    I see, the error object 'e' is not a typical JavaScript error object, it does not have "message" or "name" properties and can't be serialized to string.
    My bet is that it's a custom PlayFab error object.

    So let's try replacing: 
    return {ResultCode: 255, Message: e};
    with: 
    return {ResultCode: 255, Message: JSON.stringify(e)};
    or: 
    return {ResultCode: 255, Message: 'error:'+e};
    We are doing all this in order to find out what is the unexpected error happening in RoomCreated handler.

    You could temporarily add: 
    logException(getISOTimestamp(), e, 'RoomCreated handler error');
    before 
    return {ResultCode: 255, Message:...
    logException will add the log as title data entry that you should clean up later.
