Spawning ENT once

[Endus322]

In my init.lua I have

net.Receive("spawn", function()
    local recipe = net.ReadString()
    local ent = net.ReadEntity()
    local spawned
    if(recipe == "Bread") then
        ent:SetItemOne("")
        ent:SetItemTwo("")
        local bread = ents.Create("bread")
        --print("spawning bread")
        --bread:SetModel("models/foodnhouseholditems/bread-3.mdl")
        bread:SetPos(ent:GetPos()+Vector(0,0,50))
        bread:Spawn()
    end
end)
which spawns my ENT, but I only want it to do it once, the net send is in my cl_init.lua and looks like

function ENT:Draw()
if(recipe == "Bread") then
net.Start("spawn")
net.WriteString("Bread")
net.WriteEntity(self)
net.SendToServer()
end
end

ENT:Draw() is called constantly, but I only want the bread:Spawn() to happen once, how would I go about doing this? I tried cutting off the if(recipe == "Bread") but it is still too slow and spawns around 10

Thank you, Endus

Why are you doing net logic in Draw to begin with? You could do it in Think.

Regardless, you need to keep track of whether or not you spawned the associated entity.

function ENT:Think()
if self.SpawnedRecipe then return end

if (recipe == "Bread") then
net.Start("spawn")
net.WriteString(recipe)
net.WriteEntity(self)
net.SendToServer()

self.SpawnedRecipe = true
end
end

I was doing it in Draw since I had 3D2D I was using alongside it
