None.

<tr>
<td>
First off, this ONLY works when you have joined a network game via StartNetGame or JoinNetGame  and you have created a player via CreateNetPlayer  (you must create a player, even if it is just to lurk). You must've received  the message already, determined by the RecvNetMsg()  command - and probably determined the type of message with (NetMsgType().

<br />

<br />
The string value returned from this command is the actual message text that  was sent.

<br />

<br />
You will use NetMsgType(), NetMsgFrom(), and NetMsgTo()  to get other important information from the message and act on it.

<br />

<br />
The example requires that you run it on a remote machine while the local computer  runs the example in the SendNetMsg command.
