Additional Notes
- Can be written SetNWEntity().
- Running a networked function will cause it to synchronize the networked data with the clients.
- Index can be a String or Integer .
- Running this function clientside will only set it clientside - not serverside. You should set networked variables to their defaults in the initilization function of a scripted entity or SWEP.
- Only set networked variables when necessary - sending networked variables constantly is expensive.
