Question How can I find and access Local player components using PUN2 in Unity?

Hello,

I have 2 scripts 1: Player and 2: Game Manager, both spawn when the game starts.
Since each player will be spawning the same 2 objects (player and game manager) when the game starts, How can I access the local Player script from Game Manager Start function when the game starts?

I tried this method:

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject[] players;
2. GameObject localPlayer;
3.  
4. void Start()
5. {
6.     if(pv.IsMine)
7.     {
8.         players = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Player");
9.         foreach (GameObject local in players)
10.         {
11.            if(local.GetPhotonView().IsMine)
12.            {
13.                localPlayer = local.gameObject;
14.                Debug.Log("Local Player: " + localPlayer.name);
15.            }
16.         }
17.     }
18. }

But it sometimes works and sometimes returns Null Reference error and breaks my game.

However if I try this one:

if(pv.IsMine){ localPlayer = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player"); }

It produces less Null Reference error as compared to the above code, but still its not the solution.
How can I fix this issue or is there a better way to access the local player?
