Basically I have a cow that runs through my entire map by activating a switch. I'd like this to be only activated by me, though, if possible through steam id.
How would one do this with lua_run? I know it's a mapping question, but it's more lua related.
(Can you move this to newbie questions, this might be better there actually.)

Some infos about this entity:
- The lua entity takes up to 512 chars and no enters or taps.
- I runs a one line code and using ", \" or \' will not work and could brake the VMF file.
- If you want to use string, use ' to quote it.
- To use Quotation marks in strings use [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=String.format]String.format [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b].
- The limits is set by the hammer editor and by the VMF format, not in gmod, so no way to bypass it.
- A lua entity run code server side only and one of it is like one singel lua file in the autorun/server/ folder.
- It has to be triggered to run.
You cannot restrict it to only you. People can easily bypass it.
Prefix your code with:
[lua]if(not IsValid(activator) or not activator:IsPlayer() or activator:SteamID() ~= "your steamid") then return end[/lua]
It wouldn't be hard to bypass it as an admin though.

I mean you can't do more chars in one entity than 512, if you need more you will need to use global functions and more lua_run entitles.
