13.2 Photon Avatar Handler

Component: PhotonAvatarHandler

Allows selection of an avatar prefab by the player. When spawning players using this, their current avatar will despawn. Great for instant respawn games. —Messages— ’SetAvatarString’ takes a string parameter representing the name of the new prefab you want to use for this player. Prefab must be directly inside a ’Resources’ folder.’Spawn’ takes no parameter. It will first destroy the player’s current avatar, if any, then will instantiate a new one using the string assigned as the avatar. Make sure to call ’SetAvatarString’ before spawning or you will get an error.
