Description
Assigns control over the player-controlled character _Character to the user with ID _UserID. The character will also be moved to the new user's party.

- Characters can also be assigned to users by the game engine itself when they connect to a game.
- User IDs are volatile: they can change at any time, in particular when loading a saved game, or when someone disconnects and reconnects. Never store this value in a database. Only use it immediately after requesting it, within the same frame.
