Source SDK: SteamID Verification Door

With Vercas and BFG9000's (huge) help, I've managed to make a Lua script activated via "lua_run" entity from Garry's Mod's FGD.

hook.Add('PlayerUse', 'Button', function(ply,ent) if(ent:GetName()=='Button') then if(ply:SteamID()=='STEAM_0:0:36158367') then local doors = ents.FindByName('TestDoor') for j = 1, #doors do doors[j]:Fire('Open', 1) end end end end )

Replace Button with the func_button's name you want to use, STEAM_0:0:36158367 with the your SteamID, TestDoor with the entity's name whose input you want to fire, and Open with the input name. Remember to use 'string' in Hammer instead of "string", otherwise your .VMF will get corrupted. Also, don't abuse this to destroy the server you're playing on. :L
