If you've ever wanted to have a keypad in your mod that the player can type a code into, this should demonstrate how:

gamevar pad_id -1 1 //This stores the id of the keypad that the player is using.
gamevar pnum 0 1 // This stores the passcode as he enters it.

gamevar param 0 2
gamevar temp 0 2

gamevar hitagsav 0 2
gamevar lotagsav 0 2

// This is defined once and re-used for each of the buttons. 'param' is the digit to enter
state enterdigit
{
	ifvarn pad_id -1 ifvarl pnum 99999999 //Gamevars range from -2147483648 to 2147483647. This 'ifvarl' keeps the passcode from exceeding that.
	{
		setvar RETURN -1 //Keep in mind that the buttons we are using are serving double-duty as weapon selection. We only disbale that when we are entering a passcode.
		mulvar pnum 10 // This shifts the passcode over a place value to make room for the new digit
		addvarvar pnum param
	}
}
ends

// The actual buttons. Any one should do as long as you set param to the digit and call 'enterdigit'.
