egh, networking questions.

first question, in the wiki ([url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/net/Receive[/url]) it says function callback is "The function to be called if the specified message was received." what does this mean, do i put in a function here or do i put in the name of a function, or am i confusing it with string names

secondly, im going to have a text entry in a dframe, already got that, and you type the targets name in it and it is sent to the server, which then converts the name as a string to where the next net message will be sent.

net.Receive accepts a function as its second argument:

net.Receive( "MyNetName", function( _, pPlayer )
   -- code
end )

-- or
local function MyFunction( _, ply )
   -- code
end

net.Receive( "MyNetName", MyFunction )
