What is GUID?

[Oxygen Thief]

What is it and why is it in all the npc files now?

[Oxygen Thief]

Do you need to make your own GUID to make npcs now?
None of the tutorial I found on how to make npcs say anything about it.

No, GUIDs are automatically generated. They've existed for all assets since a couple years ago.

Do not make your own GUID.

So if I'm making npcs I should leave the GUID entirely alone?

If you're copy-pasting .dat files (of anything) raw then you should delete the GUID so that it doesn't conflict with pre-existing GUIDs.

So the copy of the asset file having the same GUID as the original npc's asset file will conflict with stuff? Do I even need a GUID then?

You need to remove the GUID so that the game can automatically generate one. If you're copy-pasting a .dat file, and included the original GUID, remove it. If you typed everything up from scratch, don't manually add one.

There is no other way I can word this.

So when I delete the GUID from the .dat file when will it automatically generate the new one? Like will it happen when I start unturned again, or when I open the file again?

You have to launch the game. Text files cannot edit themselves otherwise.

My GUIDs are not appearing even after many game launches.

Please create separate threads for different issues, as opposed to responding on older/resolved threads (especially threads that are years old).

If a GUID is not generating for your custom content, then you messed up while setting it up in Unity, and there's errors in the in-game Error Log.
