Updating character equipment

I am trying to sync character look across server. I have some client sided functions that sets the gear according to it's logged in character. What im struggling with is updating the look of that character across all clients. I have it now so it sets your character but you cannot see the proper look on the other client and vice versa. I wrote a function (RPC) which I thought would do the trick but apparently isn't. Is RPC's the best way of going about this? Or could custom properties be more efficient. I have been stuck on this for some time and it's really holding me back. Im looking for a bit on insight as to why what i'm doing isn't working and how I can make it work. Any help is appreciated.

My Code regarding setting player equipment.

I locally set the equipment after instantiation then call this RPC.

equipment.GetComponent ().RPC ("UpdateCharacterEquipmentOnServer", PhotonTargets.Others);

[PunRPC]
public void UpdateCharacterEquipmentOnServer(PhotonMessageInfo info)
{
NetworkCharacter myCharacter = GetComponent ();

Debug.Log (myCharacter.CharacterName);

foreach (int equip_id in myCharacter.EquipmentIds)
{
if (equip_id != 0)
{
SetEquipment(EquipmentIndex.GetEquipmentById(equip_id));
}
}
}


My thinking with this was that because i locally set gear, then call this RPC to other clients, it would set their gear on my instance to display what they really have on,

Thanks,
Dev.
