Pulling variables from table with different names with for i

[BoxOfFlex]

Hello, I am trying to make a customizable button layout for one of my projects I'm remaking.
I'm wanting to have the button read the text variable and the command variable from a table yet it's kinda confusing how to do that.

Code: (it's a little hacky with the context menu)

if SERVER then return end

function FBinds()
	mainframe = mainframe or NULL
	if mainframe:IsValid() then return end
	
	FBindsConfig = {
		--BEGIN COMMANDS CONFIG
		cb = 15,
		text1 = "CTP",
		cmd1 = "ctp",
		text2 = "CTP Menu",
		cmd2 = "ctp_toggle_menu",
		text3 = "",
		cmd3 = "",
		text4 = "",
		cmd4 = "",
		text5 = "",
		cmd5 = "",
		text6 = "",
		cmd6 = "",
		text7 = "",
		cmd7 = "",
		text8 = "",
		cmd8 = "",
		text9 = "",
		cmd9 = "",
		text10 = "",
		cmd10 = "",
		text11 = "",
		cmd11 = "",
		text12 = "",
		cmd12 = "",
		text13 = "",
		cmd13 = "",
		text14 = "",
		cmd14 = "",
		text15 = "",
		cmd15 = "",
		--START PAC EVENTS CONFIG
		pb = 15,
		etxt1 = "",
		evnt1 = "",
		etxt2 = "",
		evnt2 = "",
		etxt3 = "",
		evnt3 = "",
		etxt4 = "",
		evnt4 = "",
		etxt5 = "",
		evnt5 = "",
		etxt6 = "",
		evnt6 = "",
		etxt7 = "",
		evnt7 = "",
		etxt8 = "",
		evnt8 = "",
		etxt9 = "",
		evnt9 = "",
		etxt10 = "",
		evnt10 = "",
		etxt11 = "",
		evnt11 = "",
		etxt12 = "",
		evnt12 = "",
		etxt13 = "",
		evnt13 = "",
		etxt14 = "",
		evnt14 = "",
		etxt15 = "",
		evnt15 = ""
	}
	
	if not file.Exists("FAddons/fbinds_config.txt","DATA") then file.Write("FAddons/fbinds_config.txt",util.TableToJSON(FBindsConfig)) end
	if file.Exists("FAddons/fbinds_config.txt","DATA") then util.JSONToTable(file.Read("FAddons/config.txt","DATA")) end
	
	local pos = ScrW()+1
	mainframe = vgui.Create("DFrame")
	mainframe:SetSize(150,ScrH()-32)
	mainframe:SetTitle("")
	mainframe:SetDraggable(false)
	mainframe:ShowCloseButton(false)
	mainframe:MakePopup()
	
	mainframe.Paint = function()
		draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,150,ScrH()-31,Color(240,240,240,200))
	end
	mainframe.Think = function()
		mainframe:SetPos(pos,31)
		pos = math.Clamp(pos-10,ScrW()-149,ScrW()+1)
	end
	
	local name = vgui.Create("DLabel",mainframe)
	name:SetPos(5,0)
	name:SetColor(Color(0,0,0))
	name:SetText("FBinds")
	name:SetFont("FScoreboardLabel")
	name:SizeToContents()
	
	local CatCommands = vgui.Create("DCollapsibleCategory",mainframe)
	CatCommands:SetPos(0,17)
	CatCommands:SetSize(mainframe:GetWide(),mainframe:GetTall()/2)
	CatCommands:SetLabel("Commands")
	
	local CmdSPanel = vgui.Create("DScrollPanel",CatCommands)
	CmdSPanel:SetSize(CatCommands:GetWide(),CatCommands:GetTall()-20)
	CmdSPanel:SetPos(0,20)
	
	for i = 1,FBindsConfig[cb] do
		local cmdbutton = vgui.Create("DButton",CmdSPanel)
		cmdbutton:SetPos(5,0+(25*i))
		cmdbutton:SetText("placeholder") --text var will go here
		cmdbutton:SetSize(mainframe:GetWide()-5,24)
		cmdbutton.DoClick = function()
			RunConsoleCommand("placeholder") --command var will go here
		end
	end
end

hook.Add("OnContextMenuOpen","FBinds",FBinds)

hook.Add("OnContextMenuClose","FBindsClose",function()
	if mainframe:IsValid() then mainframe:Close() end
end)

Thanks,

Just do like.

local mytable = {};
mytable['cmd'] = "Text"

[BoxOfFlex]

[QUOTE=crazyscouter;45664571]Just do like.

local mytable = {};
mytable['cmd'] = "Text"

[/QUOTE]

Then how would I save the variables to my config file?

[crazyscouter]

Like you already are

[BoxOfFlex]

[QUOTE=crazyscouter;45664604]Like you already are[/QUOTE]

So would I put this in my for i area or does it not matter?

[crazyscouter]

What? Do you mean this

for i = 1,FBindsConfig[cb] do
		local cmdbutton = vgui.Create("DButton",CmdSPanel)
		cmdbutton:SetPos(5,0+(25*i))
		cmdbutton:SetText("placeholder") --text var will go here
		cmdbutton:SetSize(mainframe:GetWide()-5,24)
		cmdbutton.DoClick = function()
			RunConsoleCommand("placeholder") --command var will go here
		end
	end

if so you'd do something like this instead

for k,v in pairs(FBindsConfig) do
		local cmdbutton = vgui.Create("DButton",CmdSPanel)
		cmdbutton:SetPos(5,(25*k))
		cmdbutton:SetText(v) --text var will go here
		cmdbutton:SetSize(mainframe:GetWide()-5,24)
		cmdbutton.DoClick = function()
			RunConsoleCommand(k) --command var will go here
		end
	end

When I try to do SetPos(5,(25*k)), I'm getting this this error that's getting cut off for some reason.

[crazyscouter]

because k is a string. just do like local count = 0 outside the loop and multiply by count instead of k. also, be sure to add one at the bottom of the loop

Thanks, just got some spacing issues to fix then it should work.
