and this is my code
(shared.lua)
GM.Name = "test"
GM.Author = "Jenson"

DeriveGamemode("sandbox")

include("menu.lua")

function GM:Initialize()

end
(menu.lua)

Menu:SetTitle("Buy Menu")
Menu:SetDraggable(false)

Menu.Paint = function()
surface.SetDrawColor(60,60,60,255)
surface.DrawRect(0,0,Menu:GetWide(),Menu:GetTall())

surface.SetDrawColor(40,40,40,255)
surface.DrawRect(0,24,Menu:GetWide(),1)
end
end

AddButtons(Menu)

if(net.ReadBit() == 0) then
Menu:Hide()
gui.EnableScreenClicker(false)
else
Menu:Show()
gui.EnableScreenClicker(true)
end
end)

function AddButtons(Menu)

--color entire button
surface.SetDrawColor(50,50,50,255)
surface.DrawRect(0,0,playerButton:GetWide(),playerButton:GetTall())
-- draw bottom and right borders

end

local shopButton = vgui.Create("DButton")
shopButton:SetParent(Menu)

end
shopButton.DoClick = function(shopButton)
local shopPanel = Menu:Add("ShopPanel")
end
end

-- player panel
PANEL = {}

function PANEL:Init() -- initialize panel
self:SetSize(650,475)
self:SetPos(100,25)
end

function PANEL:Paint(w, h)
draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,w, h, Color(0,0,0,255))
end

vgui.Register("PlayerPanel",PANEL,"Panel")

-- end player panel

-- player panel

draw.RoundedBox(0,0,0,w, h, Color(255,255,255,255))
end

vgui.Register("ShopPanel",PANEL,"Panel")

-- end player panel
and this is the init.lua
AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("menu.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("hud.lua")

--AddCSLuaFile("workshop.lua")

include("shared.lua")
-- check if menu = open
local open = false

--menu show
util.AddNetworkString("FMenu")
function GM:ShowSpare2(ply)
if (open == false) then
open = true
else
open = false
end

net.Start("FMenu")
net.WriteBit(open)
net.Broadcast()
end

vgui doesnt exist on server, its client-side only (you are including menu.lua on both)

[jenson200]

Wait huh, i am only including it on shared.lua right? Do you mean the addcsluafile? Or well i dont understand :?

[Mr. Free]

menu.lua to cl_menu.lua

[jenson200]

Ill try this when i get acces to my pc, thanks for now!

[c👌de_g🎷]

Changing file prefixes does nothing by default.

[jenson200]

But if i do that for some reason everyone gets it opened when 1 person clicks it on the server

[c👌de_g🎷]

That's because you're calling net.Broadcast in your init.lua - only send it to the player who pressed the button.

[WasabiThumbs]

net.Start("FMenu")
net.WriteBit(open)
net.Send(ply)
Also, is there any reason why you would do net.WriteBit instead of net.WriteBool?

[mx.silent]

wouldnt you want it to be
local Menu = vgui.Create ( "Dframe" )
so ur not telling the server to do everything?
