TagObject of previous clients is null for new clients

I finally managed to send CustomProperties to server! Yay!
This means every new client gets a color, and all previous clients can see that color as hoped...
However, new clients can't see previous clients color - because their TagObject returns null.
I have this code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void IPunInstantiateMagicCallback.OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)
2.     {
3.         info.Sender.TagObject = this.gameObject;
4.     }

In the object I want each player to have as TagObject I also added this to the start of my gameObject:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Start()
2.     {
3.         pv = GetComponent<PhotonView>();
4.         pv.Owner.TagObject = this.gameObject;
5.     }

And here's my custom property update-code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void IInRoomCallbacks.OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate(Player targetPlayer, Hashtable changedProps)
2.     {
3.  
4.         GameObject targetGO = (GameObject)targetPlayer.TagObject;
5.  
6.         object colorR = targetPlayer.CustomProperties["colorRval"];
7.         object colorG = targetPlayer.CustomProperties["colorGval"];
8.         object colorB = targetPlayer.CustomProperties["colorBval"];
9.  
10.         if (colorR != null && colorG != null & colorB != null)
11.         {
12.             float colorRval = float.Parse(colorR.ToString());
13.             float colorGval = float.Parse(colorG.ToString());
14.             float colorBval = float.Parse(colorB.ToString());
15.  
16.             Color targetColor = new Color(colorRval, colorGval, colorBval);
17.  
18.  
19.             if (targetPlayer.TagObject == null)
20.             {
21.                 Debug.Log(targetPlayer + " has no gameobject. Should NEVER happen");
22.             }
23.             else
24.             {
25.                 targetGO.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = targetColor;
26.             }
27.         }
28.     }

The first client never has any errors, but in any new client everyone who logged in before themselves do not get the color change, but instead the debug message.

Will I need to store the TagObjects locally or am I calling it in a wrong order, etc.?

 

You should mention in your thread title this is regarding Photon, or the people knowledgeable with Photon won't necessarily show up.

 

Ah yes, thanks for the advice! The edit function doesn't seem to provide me with a way to change the name though. Can't even add the tag "Photon". :/

 

To anyone running into the same problem, I managed to fix it.
I wrapped everything inside the OnPlayerPropertiesUpdate in a foreach-loop checking every photonView in my scene, and then checking if any of them has an owner. If they do, instead of getting a targetplayers customProperties, I got the respective photonview's owner's custom property and set it that way. It's probably a very bad solution, but with absolutely no information, tutorials or anything to go by, this is the best I could come up with

 

@Avalin thanks for posting your solution. Agreed, Photon documentation is dreadfully terrible
