Is a CID system necessary to make a multicharacter resource

I’m trying to make my own multicharacter script, but I cannot hash out CIDs. Could I skip assigning CIDs or do I need it?

What does having the CID available do for you? Is that functionality 100% required for the system to work how you desire? Are you able to replace that functionality with something else?

Well a cid id usually given to character slots, 1, 2, 3, etc. I thought that was required

4

What would you be using that value for?

5

Nothing really

6

Then you don’t need it

7

Well, to check what character is tied to what slot

8

Or can I do that without cid?

If you want to tie specific characters to specific slots then yes you need a value stored in the characters data that dictates which slot they should spawn in to be selected. As in, if you always want John Snow to spawn in Slot 1 then you have to add Slot 1 to John Snow’s data somewhere, otherwise John Snow will just be one of the characters that appear in the allotted slots.
