Does anyone familiar with Unity Photon. I try to wait till all players join then start the game. I think PhotonPlayer function is no longer working.

void OnPhotonPlayerConnected(PhotonPlayer newPlayer){

     if (PhotonNetwork.playerList.Length == 2) {
          PhotonNetwork.LoadLevel ("StandardTrack");
      }
      else if (PhotonNetwork.playerList.Length == 1) {
          Debug.Log ("Not Enough PLayers");
          popup.SetActive (true);
      }
  }

Add a Debug.Log() and write some useful info to the console. Like the player list / length.
And let us know what happens / doesn’t.

If your room has a maxplayer that’s 0 (no limit) or more than 2, your method may fail, when 3 players get in.

Sorry what I mean is I saw this codes from a post in 2015. I try to copy it to my script. I then find out that I cannot type (PhotonPlayer newPlayer) PhotonPlayer won’t turn into blue. What am I missing here.

I think this code to make a wait-till-ready system is not working anymore. What should be the updated method in 2019.

Assuming you use PUN 2 now, the code should use Player and PhotonNetwork.CurrentRoom.PlayerCount.

Thanks I just realize there is pun and pun2. I managed to get it works with a delay start tutorial I found.
