Long is an integer format that uses 32 bit for data.
The highest bit is the sign, so the variable ranges from -2^31 (-2147483648) to 2^31-1 (2147483647)
There are no restrictions when using a long as a local variable within Object scripts, but longs inside Quest scripts, as well as global variables, are internally stored as a float, and there might be a precission issue with very large values.
