Identifying which player activated the trigger, Photon

Unity Engine
,

Hi guys,
i’m pretty new to network programming but i’m not new to Unity.
As of now i’m spawning a player prefab for each player (2 players) and I want them to be able to pick up points, which are spheres with isTrigger activated.
How can I identify which of the two players in the server picked up the pointSphere and add the points accordingly ?
I would also like ti display the points of both players on both of the screens with player names + point count.
Any help is appreciated

Just an idea…

static class with some data.

public static class GameManager
{
    public static List<PlayerData> playersData = new List<PlayerData>();
}

At PlayerData, attached to each player:

public class PlayerData
{
    public string playerName;
    public float/int score;
    void Awake()
    {
        GameManager.playersData.Add(this);
    }
}

At spheres:

public class Sphere
{
    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
    {
        if (col.transform.CompareTag("Player"))
            col.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerData>().score++;
            Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

U can get all your player scores with some like:

foreach(PlayerData playerData in GameManager.playersData)
{
    print(playerData.playerName + ": " + playerData.score.ToString());
}

Thanks for the answer man, I tried to implement this and it has worked alright. The only problem is that I have to instantiate the players with the PlayerData via the Network, and that means that I can’t add the PlayerData to the list on Awake or on Start. If I add it on Awake I get two NullReferenceException errors, one for every Player I guess.
I have tried adding the PlayerData to the list after spawning but I add only PlayerData of the MasterClient to the list, and not from the other player.
