What are Network Events?
Custom scripted events between server and client. They allow either side (server or client) to "tell" the other side something.
Useful for providing extra sync, telling the other side to call a function, or simply sending data back and forth.
How do I use them?
Network events are universal, regardless of which side is sending and receiving (server or client). On the "sender" side, use triggerNetworkEvent, and on the receiver side use a network event handler to run code when receiving it.
The only difference is when receiving a network event on the server, a client object will be the first arg in the handler function so the script knows which client sent it.
