Description

This is used internally - although you're able to use it you probably shouldn't.

You should use Entity:NetworkVar instead

Sets up a self.dt.NAME alias for a Data Table variable.

Default Arguments

1 string type
The type of the DTVar being set up. Supported choices:
  • String (up to 511 characters)
  • Bool
  • Float
  • Int (32-bit signed integer)
  • Vector
  • Angle
  • Entity
2 number slot
The ID of the DTVar. Can be between 0 and 3 for strings, 0 and 31 for everything else.

This can be omitted entirely (arguments will shift) and it will use the next available slot.

3 string name
Name by which you will refer to DTVar. It must be a valid variable name. (No spaces!)
