This article assumes that you know the basics of GMod-specific Lua. On the client or server, define and hook a callback function that will be called when the network is received using net.Receive or net.Incoming.You can also use net.SendToServer from the client, this will send the data of any type to the server via the net library. net.Broadcast can be used to also send data to every client as opposed to net.Send(player.GetAll()). Call net.Send(Entity) to send the data from the server to a specific client.Push data in the message using other net.Write* functions, such as net.WriteTable, net.WriteString, etc.Call net.Start on the server or client with a unique identifier as the first argument (A second argument is valid if accepting streams from clients (This argument is the player entity)).This system also allows for tables and other data types to be send both ways unlike console commands which limited the user to text responses.
