Function which creates vgui

Hello, I’m trying to make a function which creates some vgui but it doesn’t work.
This is my code :



	local function ConfDoorAddButton(text, x, y)
        function base:PaintOver(w, h)
            surface.SetFont("ConfDoors_Text")
            draw.SimpleText(text, "ConfDoors_Text", x, y, white)
        end

        local button = vgui.Create("DButton", base)
        local status = true
        button:SetText("")
        surface.SetFont("ConfDoors_Text")
        button:SetSize(75, 20)
        button:SetPos(confdoors.w - button:GetWide() - 10, 17.5 + SwarzoxGetTextSize(text, "height"))

        function button:Paint(w, h)
            SwarzoxSwitchButton(0, 0, status)
        end

        function button:DoClick()
            if status == true then
                status = false
                LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("La porte ne se ferme plus toute seule")
            else
                status = true
                LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("La porte se ferme toute seule")
            end
        end
	end

    ConfDoorAddButton("Fermer cette porte automatiquement", 10, 35)

I wanna have 2 vgui if I put the function ConfDoorAddButton() 2 times

Seems like you didn’t define “base” frame.
UPD. Probably you have defined “base” frame before. If so, it should be visible when this function is being called.

#3

That function does not include whatever ‘base’ is supposed to be. Try adding ‘base’ as an argument for your function, or better yet, don’t use a function at all (if possible).

This is the entire code :



confdoors = confdoors or {}
local white = Color(255, 255, 255)
local green = Color(0, 255, 0)
local red = Color(255, 0, 0)
local black = Color(0, 0, 0)

local function SwarzoxBlack(a)
    black.a = a

    return black
end

local blur = Material("pp/blurscreen")

local function SwarzoxBlur(panel, amount, heavyness)
    local x, y = panel:LocalToScreen(0, 0)
    local scrW, scrH = ScrW(), ScrH()
    surface.SetDrawColor(255, 255, 255)
    surface.SetMaterial(blur)

    for i = 1, (heavyness or 3) do
        blur:SetFloat("$blur", (i / 3) * (amount or 6))
        blur:Recompute()
        render.UpdateScreenEffectTexture()
        surface.DrawTexturedRect(x * -1, y * -1, scrW, scrH)
    end
end

local function SwarzoxSwitchButton(x, y, on)
    surface.SetDrawColor(DrawBlack(120))
    surface.DrawRect(x, y, 75, 20)
    surface.SetDrawColor(DrawBlack(160))
    surface.DrawRect(x + 2, y + 2, 71, 16)

    if on then
        green.a = 120
        surface.SetDrawColor(green)
        surface.DrawRect(x + 2, y + 2, 32.5, 16)
        draw.SimpleText("OFF", "ConfDoors_Text", x + 32.5 + (16.25 / 2), y - 1, white)
    else
        red.a = 120
        surface.SetDrawColor(red)
        surface.DrawRect(x + 41, y + 2, 32.5, 16)
        draw.SimpleText("ON", "ConfDoors_Text", x + 2 + (16.25 / 2), y - 1, white)
    end
end

local function SwarzoxGetTextSize(text, type)
    if type == "height" or type == "h" then
        local height = select(2, surface.GetTextSize(text))

        return height
    elseif type == "weight" or type == "w" then
        local weight = select(1, surface.GetTextSize(text))

        return weight
    end
end

local BASE = {}

function BASE:Init()
    self:MakePopup(true)
    self:SetSize(confdoors.w, confdoors.h)
    self:SetPos(ScrW() / 2 - confdoors.w / 2, ScrH() / 2 - confdoors.h / 2)
end

function BASE:Paint(w, h)
    SwarzoxBlur(self, 5)
    surface.SetDrawColor(SwarzoxBlack(140))
    surface.DrawRect(0, 0, w, h)
    surface.SetDrawColor(SwarzoxBlack(140))
    surface.DrawRect(0, 0, w, 7)
    surface.DrawRect(0, 21, w, 7)
    surface.DrawRect(0, self:GetTall() - 7, w, 7)
end

vgui.Register("ConfDoorsBaseMenu", BASE)

function ConfDoorsMenu()
    confdoors.w = 350
    confdoors.h = 400
		
    local base = vgui.Create("ConfDoorsBaseMenu")

	local function ConfDoorAddButton(text, x, y)
        function base:PaintOver(w, h)
            surface.SetFont("ConfDoors_Text")
            draw.SimpleText(text, "ConfDoors_Text", x, y, white)
        end

        local button = vgui.Create("DButton", base)
        local status = true
        button:SetText("")
        surface.SetFont("ConfDoors_Text")
        button:SetSize(75, 20)
        button:SetPos(confdoors.w - button:GetWide() - 10, 17.5 + SwarzoxGetTextSize(text, "height"))

        function button:Paint(w, h)
            SwarzoxSwitchButton(0, 0, status)
        end

        function button:DoClick()
            if status == true then
                status = false
                LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("La porte ne se ferme plus toute seule")
            else
                status = true
                LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("La porte se ferme toute seule")
            end
        end
	end

    ConfDoorAddButton("Fermer cette porte automatiquement", 10, 35)
	
    local close = vgui.Create("DButton", base)
    close:SetSize(100, 35)
    close:SetPos(base:GetWide() / 2 - close:GetWide() / 2, base:GetTall() - close:GetTall() - 17)
    close:SetTextColor(white)
    close:SetFont("ConfDoors_Text")
    close:SetText("Close")

    function close:Paint(w, h)
        surface.SetDrawColor(SwarzoxBlack(140))
        surface.DrawRect(0, 0, w, h)
    end

    function close:DoClick()
        base:Remove()
    end
end

As you can see ‘base’ is defined and when I call ConfDoorAddButton() it adds the vgui but when I call it 2 times the last vgui disappears
