-Because [wiki:Identifier Identifiers] use pointers, they are not qualified for networking. It's possible to just send the classname and use the [wiki:Factory], but this is expensive. That's why there's a network ID.
-
-The network ID is an unsigned integer. You can retrieve an [wiki:Identifier] with a given network ID by using the macro ClassByID(int) (include [wiki:CoreIncludes CoreIncludes.h] to use it). It's not determined which network ID belongs to which Identifier. This changes from version to version and from system to system, depending on the number of existing classes and the code executed before main(). So ClassByID(5) might be different on each client. That's why the server has to synchronize the network ID's.

 After changing the network ID of an Identifier to ''newid'', there might be two Identifiers with the ID ''newid''. ClassByID(''newid'') will then return the changed Identifier and not the old one.
