Does anyone know how to disable buttons after a certain action is performed? like if a button is clicked or is triggered by a key it is instantly disabled for further use after it performs the action that is intended to be done? thx in advance.

actually the button itself is disabled it can no longer be clicked on once i press the trigger key, however it still performs the action the trigger key makes it perform, is there a way to disable key pressing along with button disabling at the same time once the trigger key is pressed for the first time?
