Im making a multiplayer game and I know how to send and recieve strings. I have a code to change the player object but when I do so i need to send a string which can be used to tell the other person to go to a label in the program. Does anybody know how I can make this string and read it?

I think I know what your meaning, would something like this do it
this is not real code

if get net message = "do this" then jump do this

do this:

end

check if string is what you want the go do it.

So you are looking for something that will let you write in a string and then send it to the other player who program then jumps to that lable, and the player who recived it A)can see or B) not see it.
