Derma Binding?

[GameWalrus]

I was wondering if there were some other way other then by binding to show help and such if you could bind derma functions to a key and make it come up when that key is pressed. Is there any way? >_>

Thanks, I'm having a hell of a time programming this gamemode. I never was very good with coding. Oh well, I'm going to have to beat this one way or another.

Here's a thing I whipped up a while ago that should do what you want:

[lua]if SERVER then
concommand.Add("cl_keypress",function(pl,cmd,args)
local n = tonumber(args[1])
hook.Call("PlayerKeyPress",GAMEMODE,pl,n)
end)
else
local keys_pressed = {}
hook.Add("Think","CheckKeyPress",function()
for i =1, 130 do
if input.IsKeyDown( i ) then
if keys_pressed[i] then return end
RunConsoleCommand( "cl_keypress", i )
hook.Call("PlayerKeyPress",GAMEMODE,LocalPlayer(),i)
key_wait = CurTime() + 0.25
keys_pressed[i] = true
break
elseif keys_pressed[i] then keys_pressed[i] = nil
end
end
end)
end[/lua]

That's shared. Here's what you would do:

[lua]hook.Add("PlayerKeyPress","BindMenu",function(pl,n)
if n == KEY_T then OpenMenu() end
end)[/lua]

pl is the player who presses the key and n is the number of the key. Works on both server and client.

I'll keep that in mind in case the hook doesn't work, thanks. But I'll be thankful if I can just get this working. I've been getting hell for what I've done so far from the computer, but I'm going to keep trying.

What is "the hook"? There aren't any other gamemode hooks that are called when a player presses any key -- KeyPress and all that only works for the IN_KEYS, or particular functions that are bound to keys by default.
