Additional Notes
- A max of 64kb's can be sent at one time
- WriteEntity will send any entity objects, including players - use the other net functions to send your data format if it is not an entity.
- It is not recommended that you send your own entity object to yourself as LocalPlayer suffices.
- Consult the net library for more details
