You put the creation of vgui controls in the Draw function, it would create a lot of them.

[Entoros]

He did indent it badly, but that's not true. Take a closer look.

Your problem is that when you press the USE key, often times it will run more than once because you don't take your finger off the key fast enough. Here's a simple solution:

[lua]
function ENT:Initialize()
self.LastUses = {}
self.UseWaitTime = 2
end

function ENT:Use( activator, caller )
if activator:IsPlayer() then
if self.LastUses[activator:SteamID()] and CurTime() - self.LastUses[activator:SteamID()] < self.UseWaitTime then return end
umsg.Start("dermamenu",activator)
umsg.End()
self.LastUses[activator:SteamID()] = CurTime()
end
end[/lua]

[yakahughes]

Oh wow you're right, it's not in the Draw function. My bad, thanks for correcting.

Cap, make sure you indent your code properly or it can lead you and others to misread it.

Thanks Entoros.

Why don't you just use [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Entity.SetUseType]Entity.SetUseType [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]? This is what it is for.

i have fixed that problem
now on to a new problem

[MakeR]

My last post was directed at Entoros.

[editline]08:24PM[/editline]

Lua is case sensitive, close should be Close.

[Entoros]

I hear you Maker, it's just that I've had some problems in the past with USE_SIMPLE or whatnot in that it just doesn't seem to do it's job. Perhaps I'm crazy/it's been fixed, though.

[Busymonkey]

button.DoClick = function()
DermaFrame:Close()
end

I have never had problems with it, strange.

[cap5555]

can an admin close topic now plz before a troll comes in

[Busymonkey]

Why are you so eager to get this closed?

Just wait and see, you might get a problem.

[cap5555]

i know i am bumping my own thread here but can any one tell me how to save the server at its current state so i can save players factions and money and score

[Busymonkey]

Not sure what you mean about that

[sp]Arent you glad it didnt get closed? Already more questions[/sp]

[cap5555]

[QUOTE=Busymonkey;22006333]Not sure what you mean about that

[sp]Arent you glad it didnt get closed? Already more questions[/sp][/QUOTE]

yh what i ment is like save the players money and team with mysql
or save it to a .txt file

[??????]

use sql [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=LUA:SQLite_Tutorial[/url]

[Busymonkey]

Oh, yea. Use SQL as stated above.

I didnt totally get what you meant, because you wrote factions, which I figured was kind of jobs-like things, and their scores. But meh.

[cap5555]

for the sql database how would i get it to save if the server i am using is a internet bought server
do i put these in the init or the shared or both
AddCSLuaFile( "sql_database.lua" )
and
include( "sql_database.lua" )

[Busymonkey]

init.lua.
