Custom Instantiation Data : Send GameObject or Components ?

Jimanji · March 2020

Hello,
its not possible to send GameObject or Components with this technique ? :

object[] myCustomInitData = GetInitData();
PhotonNetwork.Instantiate("MyPrefabName", new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, 0, myCustomInitData);
Receive custom data:
public void OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
    object[] instantiationData = info.photonView.InstantiationData;
    // ...
}

Thank you

Right. GameObject and Components are not serializable.
What you can do is create a script for the prefab to enable/disable components or subobjects on demand. Then send a bool[] which ones need to be active.

@Tobias how can a make my own object[] myCustomInitData?
I have to pass some int values to the OnPhotonInstantiate but I can't figure out how to do it.

int number = 12;
string word = "hello";

object[] myCustomInitData = new object[]
          {
                number,
                hello
          };
        PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(Path.Combine("Players", "Player" , transform.position, Quaternion.identity, 0, myCustomInitData);


public class RandomCall : MonoBehaviourPun, IPunInstantiateMagicCallback
{
    public void OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)
    {
        object[] instantiationData = info.photonView.InstantiationData;

        int number = (int)instantiationData[0];
        string word = (string)instantiationData[1];
    }
}
