Problem while sending string via RPC with photon

Unity Engine
1

hi , i have this function that i want to send player’s name:

[RPC]
public string getName() {
      return playerName;
}

and i want to recvie it by this where name is string:

name = GetComponent<BetaMovement> ().photonView.RPC ("getName", PhotonTargets.AllBuffered);

it gives me error that i convert void to string … so how do i use the rpc call to ‘attach’ this to name variable ?

2

or maybe some other idea for getting info who killed who.

i currently send the data to the bullet object that i create and send messa

photonView.RPC is void so you can’t return things from it like that. Doesn’t matter what the RPC’d method’s signature is.

4

so what’s the solution to this problem ?

Um - don’t try to assign the result of an RPC call to something…

6

ok so i have method getName when i call it the problem is that 20 % times it doesnt work 80 % time it works … have no idea why so i thought to call it as RPC becouse maybe everybody did not get this or something

You can set each user’s name via: PhotonNetwork.player.name.
It’s synced for you and you can have each user’s name in PhotonNetwork.playerList*.name.*
