# Visual Scripting Reference

Photon Core adds visual scripting tools under the **Photon** category. This page lists the tools included in Core 1.5 and explains when to use them.

{% hint style="info" %}
Photon add-ons provide their own module-specific tools. For example, weapon or stat synchronization belongs to Photon Shooter or Photon Stats rather than Photon Core.
{% endhint %}

## Synchronize custom Actions and Triggers

Add **Actions RPC** beside a Game Creator Actions component, or **Trigger RPC** beside a Trigger, when its visual scripting should run on other clients.

Choose the target in the RPC component:

* **All** for every current player
* **Others** when the sender already performed the result locally
* **Master Client** for one authoritative room decision
* **All Via Server** when every client should receive events in server order
* a buffered target only when late joiners genuinely need to replay the call

Enable **Send State to New Players** only for an RPC that may still be running when a player joins.

## Events

### Connection, lobby, and discovery

* On Photon Connected
* On Photon Connected to Master
* On Photon Disconnected
* On Photon Status
* On Photon Error Info
* On Photon Custom Authentication Failed
* On Photon Region List Received
* On Photon Joined Lobby
* On Photon Left Lobby
* On Photon Lobby Statistics Update
* On Photon Room List Update
* On Photon Friend List Update

### Room lifecycle

* On Photon Created Room
* On Photon Create Room Failed
* On Photon Joined Room
* On Photon Join Room Failed
* On Photon Join Random Failed
* On Photon Left Room
* On Photon Master Client Switched

### Players and properties

* On Photon Player Entered Room
* On Photon Player Left Room
* On Photon Player Spawned
* On Photon Player Despawned
* On Photon Player Properties Update
* On Photon Room Properties Update

### Network objects and ownership

* On Photon Instantiate
* On Ownership Request
* On Ownership Transferred
* On Ownership Transfer Failed
* On Photon Serialize View

Event player outputs are often the safest way to target the player involved in that event. Use **RPC Sender** when the logic needs the client that initiated a network Action or Trigger.

## Choosing the right tool

| Goal                              | Recommended tool                     |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Show a temporary effect now       | RPC to All or Others                 |
| Ask one client to decide          | RPC to Master Client                 |
| Store a player's ready state      | Player property                      |
| Store the match phase             | Room property                        |
| Spawn something everyone must see | Photon Instantiate                   |
| Spawn something owned by the room | Photon Instantiate Room Object       |
| Respond to shared state changing  | Player or room property update Event |
| Find who sent a network call      | RPC Sender                           |
| Find who joined or left           | The Event's player output            |
