Press one time only

[Sepatrick]

Hey, I have this code and its working fine, but you can "spam press" on it and that fucks up the timer.
So i was wondering if there is a way to make so the timer only works the first time you press ore make so
you can only press one time.

[lua]function ENT:AcceptInput( Name, Activator, Caller )
if Name == "Use" and Caller:IsPlayer() then

timer.Simple( 1, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 2, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 3, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 4, function( )

self:Explode();
self:Remove();

gm.entity.openDoor(self._Door, 0, true, true);
end )
end;
end;[/lua]

You need to set the use type [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Entity.SetUseType[/url] in the ENT:Initialize() hook

Oh okay, thanks for helping i will try working with that.

EDIT: Im using SIMPLE_USE maybe you misunderstood me i mean, can i make so it only allowes you to press one time on the object/ent.

Oh ok, sorry try this
[lua]
function ENT:AcceptInput( Name, Activator, Caller )

if Name == "Use" and Caller:IsPlayer() then
if !(self.UsedOnce == nil ) then return end -- Add
self.UsedOnce = true --Add
timer.Simple( 1, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 2, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 3, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 4, function( )

self:Explode();
self:Remove();

gm.entity.openDoor(self._Door, 0, true, true);
end )
end;
end;[/lua]

Add these lines like above
[lua]
if !(self.UsedOnce == nil ) then return end -- Add
self.UsedOnce = true --Add
[/lua]

[lua]function ENT:AcceptInput( Name, Activator, Caller )
if Name == "Use" and Caller:IsPlayer() then
if( self.UsedOnce )then return; end
if( not self.UsedOnce )then self.UsedOnce = true; end

timer.Simple( 1, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 2, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 3, function( ) ent:EmitSound( "hl1/fvox/beep.wav" ) end )
timer.Simple( 4, function( )

self:Explode();
self:Remove();

gm.entity.openDoor(self._Door, 0, true, true);
end )
timer.Simple( 5, function() self.UsedOnce = false end )
end;
end;[/lua]

How I'd do it.
