Additional Notes
- Running a networked function will cause it to synchronize the networked data with the clients.
- Index can be a String or Integer - however, when dealing with global networked variables, it's suggested that you use a string with part of the name of your script in it - like "mygamemode_tickrate", for example.
- Running this function clientside will only set it clientside - not serverside.
- Only set networked variables when necessary - sending networked variables constantly is expensive.
- The string length seems to be capped at 199 characters
