<function name="ReadTable" parent="net" type="libraryfunc">⤶
<description>⤶
Reads a table from the received net message.⤶
⤶
<note>Sometimes when sending a table through the net library, the order of the keys may be switched. So be cautious when comparing (See Example 1).</note>⤶
<warning>You **must** read information in same order as you write it.</warning>⤶
⤶
See <page>net.WriteTable</page> for extra info.⤶
You may get &lt;pre class="inline"&gt;net.ReadType: Couldn't read type X&lt;/pre&gt; during the execution of the function, the problem is that you are sending objects that cannot be serialized/sent over the network.⤶

<description>This is an example of how the keys order may be switched:</description>⤶
<code>⤶
--Client:⤶
function SendTable()⤶
local Table = {}⤶
Table.Type = "Dining"⤶
Table.Legs = 4⤶
Table.Material = "Wood"⤶
net.Start("TableSend")⤶
net.WriteTable(Table)⤶
net.SendToServer()⤶
PrintTable(Table) -- Prints the order client side⤶
end⤶
⤶
--Server:⤶
function GotTable(len, Player)⤶
PrintTable(net.ReadTable()) -- Prints the order server side⤶
end⤶
net.Receive("TableSend", GotTable)⤶
</code>⤶
<output>⤶
Client:⤶
⤶
```⤶
Type = "Dining"⤶
Legs = 4⤶
Material = "Wood"⤶
```⤶
⤶
⤶
Server:⤶
⤶
```⤶
Legs = 4⤶
Material = "Wood"⤶
Type = "Dining"⤶
```⤶
⤶
&lt;nowiki /&gt;&lt;!-- without this the code tag breaks apart for some BS reason --&gt;⤶
