NETCREATEPLAYER

id% = NETCREATEPLAYER(name$)


Creates a player that gets announced to the network server. The network services use "players" for communicating with the server and with other clients.
In the case of an error, 0 is returned.

The NET... commands give network functionality to GLBasic programs using the TCP protocol. TCP has the advantage over other protocols that sending and receiving of network messages is ensured.

NOTE : This command requires that you have purchased either GLBasic Premium or the GLBasic NET add-on.
