If you'd like to check if a player's steamid matches multiple steamID's, you'd do something like this:

local steam_ids = { "STEAM:0:0:4874892", "STEAM:0:1:32130", "add_more_ids" }

if table.HasValue( steam_ids, ply:SteamID() ) then
--do stuff
end

My suggestion would be to only use table.HasValue when you really have to.

[lua]
local steamIds = {
["id1"] = true,
["id2"] = true
}

local function PlyCanUse(steamID)
return steamIds[steamID]
end
[/lua]

Never thought about doing it that way. It makes sense though, I'll do it that way from now on.
