Create DButtons from a table.

[zee]

Hi. I'm trying to make it easier to add buttons to my panel, so I decided to make a table.

Now I'm trying to loop over it and make a new button each time.
Here's my code.

local tab = tab or {}
tab.button1 = {
   name = "Text",
}
tab.button2 = {
   name = "other text",
}

local drawSpot = 0

for k,v in pairs(tab) do
   drawSpot = drawSpot + 100
   local button = vgui.Create("DButton", "panelx")
   button:SetPos(10,drawSpot)
   button:SetSize(50,50)
   button:SetText(tab[k].name)
   button.DoClick = function()
      --do whatever
   end
end

Yet this only makes 1 button.

Any help?

Colt M4-A1 is the name of the second and final table item.

You have to put each button in the tab table I believe.

local tab = {
    button1 = {
	name = "text"
    },

    button2 = {
	name = "other text"
    }
}

Being an ass for pointing out that it doesn't change a thing? Oh boy.

That wouldn't change anything. It's just a different way of writing the exact same thing.

You are the one looking for a reason to call FP toxic lol.

Also - your code seems to work fine for me.
