Photon - Syncing custom classes

Community Showcases
1

Hi,

I’m currently using ‘OnPhotonSerializeView’ to sync up various variables in my multiplayer game. However, my latest challenge has been trying to sync up my List, nation being a custom class I have declared. From looking online, I’m aware I must serialize the Nation class before I can send it across but I’ve not been able to find any answers which seem applicable to my situation.

I’m receiving: Exception: cannot serialize(): System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Nation]

How would I go about serializing my custom class?

If anyone can help out, much appreciated

There is a CustomTypes class in PUN, which defines Vector3, etc. You should be able to use this as blueprint.
Keep in mind that custom types are serialized with 4 additional bytes, so if you just need to send a byte (Nation ID, e.g.), you could probably send a byte instead.
