Help w/ CPanels

[jcl1234]

So I'm making an stool that displays 3d text with cam3d2d, but I can't figure out how to store text from a cpanel textbox.

I assumed that the text entered would be put in "Command", but when I print the variable it comes out as nil.

I basically just need help storing the entered text into a value that I can use later. Any help would be appreciated.

[B]TOOL.Category = "Tools"
TOOL.Name = "Waypoint Creator"
TOOL.Tab = "Waypoints"
TOOL.Command = nil
TOOL.ConfigName = ""

wptext = "Ooga Booga"

if (CLIENT) then

language.Add("Tool.waypoints.name", "Waypoint Creator")
language.Add("Tool.waypoints.desc", "Place waypoints")
language.Add("Tool.waypoints.0", "")

end

function TOOL.BuildCPanel( panel )
panel:AddControl("Header", { Text = "Waypoints", Description = "Adjust values and then create your waypoint!" })

panel:AddControl("textbox", {
Label = "Waypoint Name",
Command = wptext,
WaitForEnter = "1"
})

function TOOL:LeftClick( trace )
print(wptext)
end

function TOOL:RightClick( trace )
end

end[/B]

Try doing TOOL.wptext = "Ooga Booga" and access it with self.wptext

I actually just fixed it :D

I had to create a clientside convar with TOOL.ClientConVar["string"] = "blablabla" and store it in that, and then reference it with self:GetClientInfo("string")

Code ended up looking like this for anyone wondering

[B]TOOL.Category = "Tools"
TOOL.Name = "Waypoint Creator"
TOOL.Tab = "Waypoints"
TOOL.Command = nil
TOOL.ConfigName = ""

TOOL.ClientConVar["usertext"] = "hi"
TOOL.ClientConVar["duration"] = 10

if (CLIENT) then

language.Add("Tool.waypoints.name", "Waypoint Creator")
language.Add("Tool.waypoints.desc", "Place waypoints")
language.Add("Tool.waypoints.0", "")

end

function TOOL.BuildCPanel( panel )
panel:AddControl("Header", { Text = "Waypoints", Description = "Adjust values and then create your waypoint!" })

panel:AddControl("textbox", {
Label = "usertext",
Command = "waypoints_usertext"
})

end

function TOOL:LeftClick( trace )

local text = self:GetClientInfo("usertext")
print(text)
end

function TOOL:RightClick( trace )
print("hi")
end

function TOOL:Think()
