Player:UniqueID

  number Player:UniqueID()

Description

We advise against using this. It may be changed or removed in a future update.

This function has collisions, where more than one player can have the same UniqueID. It is highly recommended to use Player:SteamID64 or Player:SteamID instead, which are guaranteed to be unique to each player.

Returns a 32 bit integer that remains constant for a player across joins/leaves and across different servers. This can be used when a string is inappropriate - e.g. in a database primary key.

In Singleplayer, this function will always return 1.

Returns

1 number
The player's Unique ID
