PhotonNetwork.Instantiate with data

Custom Instantiation Data

You can send some initial custom data when the instantiation call. Just make use of the last parameter in the PhotonNetwork.Instantiate* method.

This has two main advantages:

• save traffic by avoiding extra messages: we don't have to use a separate RPC or RaiseEvent call for synchronizing this kind of information
• timing: the data exchanged is available on the time of the prefab instantiation which could be useful to do some initialization

The instantiation data is an object array (object[]) of anything Photon can serialize.

Example:

Instantiate with custom data:

object[] myCustomInitData = GetInitData();
PhotonNetwork.Instantiate("MyPrefabName", new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, 0, myCustomInitData);

Receive custom data:

public void OnPhotonInstantiate(PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
    object[] instantiationData = info.photonView.InstantiationData;
    // ...
}
