Description

longA distributed unique id suitable for a table key.

Remarks

Combines the current timestamp, the DistributedUIDGenerator.MachineId, and a per-millisecond sequence. The sequence keeps ids unique and increasing even when the clock moves backwards or several ids are requested within the same millisecond.
Generate a single id.

Examples

using Unity.Localization;using UnityEngine;namespace Unity.Localization.Samples{    public class DistributedUIDGeneratorGetNextKeyExample    {        public void Run()        {            var generator = new DistributedUIDGenerator();            long id = generator.GetNextKey();            Debug.Log(id);   // a distributed unique id        }    }}
