Additional Notes
- Since SteamIDs contain the ':' character, they cannot be used as a filename for file.Write. As UniqueIDs are just numbers, they can be. Be aware you can't reverse the UniqueID back to a Steam ID.
- This number is based off the IP for LAN servers, and the steamid for internet servers.
- This function is equivalent to
util.CRC("gm_" .. ply:SteamID() .. "_gm")
- Playing single player will give you the number 1! create a multiplayer game before using this.
- This function is relatively slow. Don't call it too many times per a frame and don't use it in big loops.
