 |notes=  If you ever serialized an object like a unit, weapon, etc it would be something like the following:
      object = {
-        ["_id"] = 13777728,
+        ["id_"] = 13777728,
+     }
 As a result you can also get the objectID without calling this function. For example:
      local unit = Unit.getByName('bob')
-     env.info(unit["_id"])
+     env.info(unit["id_"])
