net.WriteUInt64#551589

<function name="WriteUInt64" parent="net" type="libraryfunc"> <description> Appends an unsigned integer with 64 bits to the current net message. <note> The limit for an uint64 is 18.446.744.073.709.551.615. Everything above the limit will be set to the limit. Unsigned numbers **do not** support negative numbers. If you use negative numbers, it will read it incorrectly (limit + (input + 1)). You can give it a number, but it will break as soon as it has 14 digits </note> </description> <realm>Shared</realm> <args> <arg name="uint64" type="number">The uint64 to be sent.</arg>⤶ <arg name="uint64" type="string">The uint64 to be sent. Can be a number. <warning>⤶ If your input is a number and not a string, it won't be networked correctly as soon as it has more than 13 digits. ⤶ This is because Lua represents numbers over 13 digits as `1e+14`(`100.000.000.000.000`) ⤶ You can do something like this to convert it to a string: `string.format("%.0f", number)`. ⤶ If you try to use <page>Global.tostring</page> it will fail because it will create a result something like `1e+14` which doesn't work.⤶ </warning>⤶ </arg>⤶ </args> </function>
