Using groups

Another function that the Shockwave Multiuser Server provides is the ability to define groups of connected users. By creating groups, you can organize users in logical ways, such as into opposing teams, collaborating companies, and so on.

Using groups allows you to do the following:

| Send a single message to all the members of a group.
| Prevent users from sending messages to users outside their own group.
| Assign attributes to the groups, such as scores, team colors, or group leaders.
