net.Receive
Description
Adds a net message handler. Only one receiver can be used to receive the net message.
The message-name is converted to lower-case so the message-names "
BigBlue
" and "bigblue
" would be equal.You must put this function outside of any other function or hook for it to work properly unless you know what you are doing!
You must read information in the same order as you write it.
Each net message has a length limit of 64KB!
Arguments

else
print( "Message from server received. Its length is " .. len .. "." )
end
end )
