So is that means if player join rooms with different lobby names using Photon C2 plugin, they can not match each others?

Correct. Players from different lobbies can't join the same room.

hi kentoy

Please read matchmaking documentation doc.photonengine.com/en-us/realtime/current/lobby-and-matchmaking/matchmaking-and-lobby

It also has detailed lobby definition.

Sending t0 in event is even better idea than storing it locally. Then you don't confuse different pings running in parallel.

But you do not need to do anything each tick or second. Check ping whenever you need it. Maybe once per room join. Send an event with the current time to yourself. When the event received, subtract the time stored in the event from the current time. The result is rtt or ping.

You need to get the current time t0 (not sure what is the best way to do so in ConstructX), send an event, receive it, get the current time again and subtract t0 from it. The result will be round trip time, that is the time required to transmit the signal to the server and back.

Layout loading:

If you join a room after layout has been loaded, the "finish" signal would be "on actor join" event. You can simply check the current number of players in the room in this handler.

Latency:

To measure round trip time to the server, send an event to yourself (specify client actor id in TargetActors).

The same works for rtt to players. Send and event and reply to it back to sender.

Static objects can be handled in different ways. The simplest would be to store object positions in the room properties. Any client may add or change these properties and they are automatically updated on all other clients.

If ccu limit is reached, new clients will be refused to connect. Unfortunately, the server does not send any specific error in such case.

Actor name is not updated on rejoin with the same actor number. Only new join updates the name. I meant new join when wrote "rejoin".

We will hopefully fix this in the next release.

I guess you try to change actor name while client is joined to a room.

This is not possible currently. Actor name is changed locally but not updated on other clients. Actor name is used only during room creation and room join. So you need to rejoin to force actor name update on other clients.
