    When a client connects to a server it is given an id (starting from 0, then 1 and so on). How can I get that id on the client side?
    I tried
    NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId

    but it doesn't work. The id I want is 1 but I get 18446744073709551615.
    EDIT: 18446744073709551615 is the max value of ulong.
    Thank you.

    You probably try to get that value BEFORE the client is connected. Do it in the OnClientConnected callback.

    I didn't have the time to try. I think it will solve it because I called NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId right after starting a client. To move it after the client connects will be a lot of work (because I need the information on another script).
