Trying to send RPC with PunRPC (Unity and Photon) but getting error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Question

I am trying to make it where a certain number of players are required before the client sends everyone to the character select scene.

Within a function I have...

if (PhotonNetwork.PlayerList.Length == 1 & PhotonNetwork.IsMasterClient == true)
{
    PhotonView PV = PhotonView.Get(this);
    PV.RPC("heroSelect", RpcTarget.All);
}

Further in my code I then change the scene with...

[PunRPC]
void heroSelect()
{
    SceneManager.LoadScene(2);
}

I am getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" as an error on the line

PV.RPC("heroSelect", RpcTarget.All);

I figured out the problem.

In your hierarchy create an empty. I called mine NetworkManager. Add your script as a component. (You've probably already done these two steps.)

The important bit is this. Make sure you have a Photon View on your NetworkManager. Drag NetworkManager from the hierarchy onto Observed Components in the inspector. This should fix the error.

Drag netowrk manager to itself as an observed component? It is grayed out – codemonkey Mar 28 '22 at 15:08

You can set Observable Search to Manual

I faced the same problem. The problem was solved by attaching PhotonView Component to the GameObject.
