Use this command in conjunction with the <a href='NetMsgFrom().htm'>NetMsgFrom()</a> (to get the player's ID) command to check and see if the player in question is on the local machine (as opposed to a remote machine). You may wish to act differently in your program based on whether the message that came in was from a local or remote machine.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You will use <a href='NetMsgType().htm'>NetMsgType()</a>, <a href='NetMsgFrom().htm'>NetMsgFrom()</a>, and <a href='NetMsgTo().htm'>NetMsgTo()</a> to get other important information from the message and act on it.<br>

The example requires that you run it on a remote machine while the local computer runs the example in the <a href='SendNetMsg.htm'>SendNetMsg</a> command.</td></tr></table><p class='header'>Example: <br><br><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' align='center'><tr><td>; NetPlayerLocal example<br>
