Unable to keep channel data persistent

[Shifty Geezer]

I'm setting Channel 1's channel data to record the current party. When a new player joins, this should show them the current party for them to choose their character. However, the data is getting cleared somewhere. I don't leave the channel, and I have it set to persistent, but the data isn't remaining.

1. IEnumerator Start ()    {
2.         AiaVG_GameManager.instance.prepManagerCache = this;
3.         // STALL
4.         while (TNManager.isJoiningChannel) yield return null;
5.                
6.         currentParty[0] = 0;
7.         currentParty[1] = TNManager.GetChannel (1).Get<int>(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV1);
8.         currentParty[2] = TNManager.GetChannel (1).Get<int>(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV2);
9.         currentParty[3] = TNManager.GetChannel (1).Get<int>(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV3);
10.         currentParty[4] = TNManager.GetChannel (1).Get<int>(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV4);
11.  
12.         print ("Party "+currentParty[1] +currentParty[2] +currentParty[3] +currentParty[4] );
13. }
14.  
15.  
16. public void ButtonPressStart(){
17.         // if solo game, start
18.         if(AiaVG_GameManager.netMaxNumPlayers == 0){
19.                 Application.LoadLevel ("Adventuring");
20.         }else{
21.                 // network game
22.                 print ("Party "+currentParty[1] +currentParty[2] +currentParty[3] +currentParty[4] );
23.  
24.                 TNManager.GetChannel (1).Set(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV1, currentParty[1]);
25.                 TNManager.GetChannel (1).Set(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV2, currentParty[2]);
26.                 TNManager.GetChannel (1).Set(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV3, currentParty[3]);
27.                 TNManager.GetChannel (1).Set(GLOBAL.KEY_PLAYER_ADV4, currentParty[4]);
28.                        
29.                 TNManager.JoinChannel(2,"Adventuring", false, AiaVG_GameManager.netMaxNumPlayers, "", false);
30.         }
31. }
32.

You're doing it wrong. You should be using TNManager.SetChannelData and TNManager.GetChannelData, like it's shown in the tutorials.

Okay. I had tried that but something hadn't worked, probably wrong syntax. To my mild defence, GetChannelData isn't mentioned in the Channel Data tutorial and only now looking do I see it covered in DataNode tutorial, though if I'd paid a little more attention I'd have seen the proper syntax in the tooltip.
