     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {

Hello there! @zak666 I have come up with a great way to sort through the scores to get a list of scores from the highest number to the smallest number. Here it is:

     // Create a list to hold all four scores
     public List<int> scores;
 
     void DetermineWinner()
     {
         // Add each players score to the 'score' list.
         scores.Add(Player1Score);
         scores.Add(Player2Score);
         scores.Add(Player3Score);
         scores.Add(Player4Score);
 
         // Use the sorting function to sort out numbers
         // from smallest to largest
         scores.Sort();
 
         // Create a temp list called 'finalList'
         List<int> finalScores = new List<int>();
         // Iterate through the scores backwards to get
         // scores from greates to smallest number.
         for (int i = scores.Count; i --> 0;)
         {
             finalScores.Add(scores[i]);
         }
 
         
         // Set the main scores to the greatest to smallest score.
         scores = finalScores;
     }

If there is anything which you need me to clarify, be sure to let me know!

You can leave the for loop and the finalScores list out by using the List.Reverse() Function. With your solution you will not know what player had what score. I know that OP didn't mention that behaviour but I think he will need it.

scores.IndexOf(1) will return you the index of the element with the value 1. Don't know if you really want that. you can just access the highest value in the list by:

  scores[0]

And add a scores.Reverse() after scores.Sort() to get the right order

So you just want to know which Player won? And you have all the scores ready?

Just compare the Scores? Either with if statements or with Mathf.Max()

And to say something about your code.. It's very redundant. Create a Player class and add the scores etc in it. Afterwards you can loop through a array of the players and you would have way less code than that. Write me again if you would like to get more information about that. ^^

Also.. What Photon Tutorial did you use? I really would like to learn networking :3

Spent ages figuring out how to use it on the documents. :) After I publish my game ($5 per month to play) I'm going to make a tutorial series.

Do you have a YouTube Channel where you will publish it? And how will it take you approx to make the tutorial? Would love to learn from you :pp
