=== typDynamicUNID ===

^ Syntax | (typDynamicUNID uniqueName) -> UNID |
^ Arguments | uniqueName: A string that represents the UNID to return. Must be at least one character long. |
^ Returns | A UNID between 0xF0000000 and 0xFFFFFFFF. If the string has not been bound to any UNID, then the function will return a new UNID and bind the string to it. Otherwise, it will return the UNID that was bound to the name. |
^ Category | [[type_functions]], [[unid_functions]] |
^ Description | Binds a string to a UNID in the 0xF0000000 range. The UNID can then be bound to a dynamic type. UNIDs start at 0xF0000000 and increment up whenever a new name is assigned. Use this function with typCreate to handle UNID assignment and prevent conflicts with existing types. |

=== Example ===

<code>
(enum (list "type1" "type2" "type3" "type2" "type2" "type4" "type5") theName
	(print (typDynamicUNID theName))
	)

<!--
Assuming that a new vanilla game has just started, the above code will print the following:
-268435456
-268435455
-268435454
-268435455
-268435455
-268435453
-268435452
-->
