I've never used expected users, because you can set the rooms max players? (https://doc-api.photonengine.com/en/pun/v2/class_photon_1_1_realtime_1_1_room.html ... a couple down in the properties.) However, why you're not getting the desired results, is you're making a new array of strings, with a size of one. The only element inside the array is the string "5". It could be "thisisfive", and it's still the same size array. To initialize an array with a size of 5 you would do so like:

 string[] names = new string[5];

(I dont think this is what you're trying to do, but I figured I would mention it) I know the api isn't the most fun to comb through, but it does have the answers. If you are trying to make a private room, that's an entirely different story and out of the scope. I can't tell what exactly you're trying to do, so a little more description would have been helpful. Nonetheless, I hope this helps :)

Hello @maross334

.

Yes, I didn't describe my problem very well. Here is the deal : Actually, my game doesn't have any (visual) room or lobby. The game is co-op. 2 Player. Once players bound to each other (Having the same unique identifier), they can only play together. I know this is not fun and solid type of game :)

My plan was to set that expectedUsers as a unique id to bound two players together. So they can only join each others room not someone else.

(number 5 was just text because i was frustrated and mad of testing actual letters, so i tried to test numbers as a text).

I set max player to 3 because photon dose not allow join second player. Mybe because i using photon cloud.

Thank you very much for your answer.
