# localNamespace

*Command · Namespaces, Variables, Multiplayer · Arma 3 v2.00*

## Description

Returns local [Namespace](../topics/Namespace.md) attached to the mission.
Has the same lifetime as [missionNamespace](../commands/missionNamespace.md) but variables **cannot be broadcasted** out of or into this namespace in multiplayer and will not be serialized when game is saved. UI variables can be safely stored in this namespace.
Use [allVariables](../commands/allVariables.md) command to save the variables elsewhere if required.

## Syntax

```sqf
localNamespace
```

**Returns:** [Namespace](../topics/Namespace.md)

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
localNamespace setVariable ["abc", 123];
```

### Example 2

```sqf
with localNamespace do { hint str abc };
```
