How can I grab the uid during edit time to save it to a variable?

IE: var id = uid

I appreciate that answer but I'm referring to the edittime file for plugins. The programming behind the construct 2 software that you use.

I think that it is for runtime, not for edittime.

It is for runtime. I gave up trying to grab it at edit time. I found a different way to work out what I was trying to do. Thanks for all the help though everyone.
