<h1>RecvNetMsg()</h1>
<h1>Parameters</h1>

<tr>
<td>
None.
</td>

<h1>Description</h1>
<table>
<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).

<br />

<br />
This returns a TRUE value if a message was received, FALSE if none has been  received. This will typically go inside a function that is constantly being  checked for message and decode and handle them. You will use NetMsgType, NetMsgFrom, NetMsgTo, and NetMsgData$  to get the 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.
