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).
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
Use this command in conjunction with the NetMsgFrom() (to get the player's ID) command to derive the actual name of the player. This command returns a string value.
|
|
|
|
<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.
