Are variable GUID value unchanging?

[IVeve]

I'm writing custom functionality in the source which changes one of the variables. I access the variables through the GUID, but I'm afraid that version changing/adding more variables might mess these up - do these stay constant as long as the variable's not deleted?

 

EDIT: Also, is there an easy way to obtain these GUID's from some command or server call? Maybe there's some function that gives you the variable's GUID by the variable's name? I went about getting the GUID in a pretty roundabout way.

The guids are static and once generated do not change.

 

You can copy the Guid of any item (variable or game object) by right clicking their name on the list in any editor. The guid will be in your clipboard and can be pasted wherever you'd like.
