| Type | Method |
| Summary | Returns a unique number |
| Prototype | long GetUniqueNumber(); |
| Description | Returns a unique number in the range 0 to 2,147,483,647. This number will be unique for this session of MUSHclient, across all worlds. You might use it to generate unique labels for one-shot timers, or other similar purposes. Note that the number will eventually \"wrap around\" and thus, if you generate a lot of them (ie. 2,147,483,647 of them), they will no longer be unique. Also note that this number generator is used internally in MUSHclient, and thus the numbers generated will not necessarily be in sequence. |
