net.WriteTable#552091

<function name="WriteTable" parent="net" type="libraryfunc"> <description> Appends a table to the current net message. Adds **16 extra bits** per key/value pair so you're better off writing each individual key/value as the exact type if possible. <warning>All net messages have a **64kb** buffer. This function will not check or error when that buffer is overflown. You might want to consider using <page>util.TableToJSON</page> and <page>util.Compress</page> and send the resulting string in **60kb** chunks, doing the opposite on the receiving end.</warning> </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <file line="109-L121">lua/includes/extensions/net.lua</file> <file line="139-L151">lua/includes/extensions/net.lua</file> <args> <arg name="table" type="table">The table to be sent. <warning>If the table contains a `nil` key the table may not be read correctly. Not all objects can be sent over the network. Things like functions, <page>IMaterial</page>s, etc will cause errors when reading the table from a net message.</warning></arg> </args> </function>
