# clientOwner

## Category
Scheduler Management

## Arity
**Nular** — `clientOwner`.

```
clientOwner
```

## Description
Returns the numeric ID of the current scheduler. This is the **Arma SQF compatibility name** for [currentScheduler](currentScheduler.md). In Arma, `clientOwner` returns the client ID of the machine where the command is executed. In SQ#, this maps to the scheduler ID.

Identical to `currentScheduler`. Both commands return the same value — use whichever matches your convention.

## How It Works
Same implementation as `currentScheduler`. Returns the scheduler ID from the VM execution context.

## Usage

```sqf
_myId = clientOwner;           // e.g., 1
systemChat f"Client owner: {_myId}";
```

## Thread Safety
ReadOnly — pure query.
