Photon Unity Player Kill Counter
So I'm making a multiplayer FPS, and in the game, I need to track player kills. I just need a way to store a player stat that can be changed over the network. I looked at RPCs, but due to me being a beginner at Photon, I can't seem to find out how to use them effectively.

Hi,
you can take a look at the PunPlayerScores class from the PUN package. This one demonstrates a simple score system which works by using the Custom Player Properties. You can either use this one or use the class as a pattern to implement your own functionality similar to this example.
Try using my method. It works well... at least in my situation. You don't need to do RPC's for this. On my Projectile script:
private void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
other.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerShipSystems>().currentHull -= hullDamage;
other.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerShipSystems>().currentArmor -= armorDamage;
other.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerShipSystems>().currentShield -= shieldDamage;
if (other.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerShipSystems>().currentHull <= 0)
{
ApplyKillToOwner();
}
ApplyScoreToOwner();
}
else if (other.gameObject.tag == "AI")
{
ApplyScoreToOwner();
}
}
private void ApplyScoreToOwner()
{
if (PV.IsMine)
{
//TODO: Figure out NULL reference exception
Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
scoreOfParent = Convert.ToInt32(GetComponent<PhotonView>().Owner.CustomProperties["Score"]);
hash.Add("Score", scoreOfParent + scorePerHit);
PV.Owner.SetCustomProperties(hash);
}
this.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<MeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
this.gameObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
}
private void ApplyKillToOwner()
{
if (PV.IsMine)
{
Hashtable hash = new Hashtable();
killsofParent = Convert.ToInt32(GetComponent<PhotonView>().Owner.CustomProperties["Kills"]);
hash.Add("Kills", killsofParent + 1);
PV.Owner.SetCustomProperties(hash);
}
}
