Notes about when UniqueId is included or not

[tapple]

regarding UniqueId, the binary format doc says "If encoding while not in Place mode, properties of this type should be skipped."

However, this doesn't seem to be exactly what Roblox Studio does:

• right click instance > Save to file...: UniqueId's are skipped
• right click instance > Publish to roblox, then download from https://assetdelivery.roblox.com/docs: UniqueId's are not skipped

So far, I have only tested this with Instances of class KeyframeSequence. I also haven't yet examined full place saves, or publishes (my WIP python library can't handle anything except KeyframeSequences yet)

I think that the file format doesn't hold an actual standard for UniqueIds because they'll be unique any way you import them.

My guess is that if you're importing a model, UniqueIds would be skipped anyway since new UniqueIds need to take their place.
