Entity:NetworkVar#514648
<function name="NetworkVar" parent="Entity" type="classfunc">⤶
<description>⤶
Creates a network variable on the entity and adds Set/Get functions for it. This function should only be called in <page>ENTITY:SetupDataTables</page>.⤶
⤶
<warning>Make sure to not call the SetDT* and your custom set methods on the client realm unless you know exactly what you are doing.</warning>⤶

<args>⤶
<arg name="type" type="string">Supported choices:

* "String"
* "Bool"
* "Float"
* "Int" (32-bit signed integer)
* "Vector"
* "Angle"
* "Entity"</arg>⤶
<arg name="slot" type="number">Each network var has to have a unique slot. The slot is per type - so you can have an int in slot 0, a bool in slot 0 and a float in slot 0 etc. but you can't have two ints in slot 0 instead you would do a int in slot 0 and another int in slot 1. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;
The max slots right now are 64 - so you should pick a number between 0 and 63. An exception to this is strings which has a max slots of 4.</arg>⤶
<arg name="name" type="string">The name will affect how you access it. If you call it "Foo" you would add two new functions on your entity - SetFoo and GetFoo. So be careful that what you call it won't collide with any existing functions (don't call it "Pos" for example).</arg>⤶
<arg name="extended" type="table" default="nil">A table of extended information. 

**KeyName**

If the table contains a "KeyName" key the value can be set using <page>Entity:SetKeyValue</page>. This is useful if you're making an entity that you want to be loaded in a map. The sky entity uses this.

**Edit**

The edit key lets you mark this variable as editable. See <page>Editable Entities</page> for more information.</arg>⤶
