rpc method not found on object with photonview - unity3d

Question

I am trying to create a multiplayer TPS where I instantiate a bullet locally (in my editor) and apply force to it. Once it hits other player I would want to call that players TakeDamage RPC.
Sadly I am encountering this weird error message that I can't fix (already taking me days).
my projectile script:
using Photon.Pun;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Arrow : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] float timeToDestroy;
[SerializeField] ParticleSystem hitEffect;
[SerializeField] TrailRenderer trailRenderer;
float timer;
private Rigidbody rb;
private Collider col;
private void Awake()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
col = GetComponent<Collider>();
}
private void Update()
{
timer += Time.deltaTime;
if (timer > timeToDestroy) Destroy(gameObject);
}
private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
rb.isKinematic = true;
rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
trailRenderer.enabled = false;
ShowHitEffect(collision.GetContact(0));
col.enabled = false;
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
{
rb.isKinematic = true;
rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
trailRenderer.enabled = false;
PhotonView pv = collision.gameObject.GetPhotonView();
Debug.Log("hit " + pv.Controller.NickName);
pv.RPC("DealDamage", RpcTarget.All, PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.NickName, .5f, PhotonNetwork.LocalPlayer.ActorNumber);
}
Destroy(gameObject, 2f);
}
private void ShowHitEffect(ContactPoint cp)
{
hitEffect.transform.position = cp.point;
hitEffect.transform.forward = cp.normal;
hitEffect.Emit(1);
}
}
weapon controller script

{

return false;

for (int i = 0; i < bulletPerShot; i++)
{
GameObject currentBullet = Instantiate(bullet, barrelPos.position, barrelPos.rotation);
Rigidbody rigidbody = currentBullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
rigidbody.AddForce(barrelPos.forward * bulletVelocity, ForceMode.Impulse);
// Projectile Instantiate

Weird thing is if I go with "Instantiate Arrow in the network" the rpc is getting called. But this is not ideal since it will because it will send the transform of the projectile every time it is flying. So I just want to check in the local (arrow with no photonView) if it hits an enemy then call the rpc of that enemy to make him take damage and possibly display a fake project coming from the damager. If my approach is naive / wrong please tell me a better approach please.

Answer 1

I transfered the rpc call on the same script where the photonView is located as mentioned by #derHugo. I think the main problem was my understanding of RPC. I thought rpc is like a public method where you can call it outside. I think I need to reread the documentations about rpc and raise events.
