{{tip|If you have a button over a prop, which fires outputs by damaging the button brush, you might as well use a {{ent|prop_dynamic}} with its "OnTakeDamage" output. This will use the prop's [[collision mesh]] as the button, instead of a brush.</br>
This is very useful for small items, since small button brushes may compile with missing faces, due to a [[vbsp]] bug{{clarify}}.}}

func_button is a brush entity available in all Source Source games.

It is designed to be used for a player-usable button. When +used by the player, it moves to a pressed position. For an example of a func_button used to make a keypad, see the button_keypad prefab.

Tip.pngTip:If you have a button over a prop, which fires outputs by damaging the button brush, you might as well use a prop_dynamic with its "OnTakeDamage" output. This will use the prop's collision mesh as the button, instead of a brush.
This is very useful for small items, since small button brushes may compile with missing faces, due to a vbsp bug[Clarify].

Keyvalues

Note.pngNote:For Keyvalues and Inputs affecting brush rendering, see Brush entity/Rendering related keyvalues and inputs


Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]
The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.
See also:  Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Glow Entity (glow) <targetname> (only in Left 4 Dead seriesLeft 4 Dead series)
The name of an entity that will get a +use glow for this button.
Note.pngNote:Left 4 Dead 2 the "Hand Extend" animation will play when looking at Glow Entity.
Icon-Bug.pngBug:The Engine cannot properly find the Glow entity if it's off-grid. It will pick several entities close to where the supposed off-grid glow entity is.  [todo tested in ?]
Use Look-At Limit (min_use_angle) <string> (in all games since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) (also in Garry's Mod)
Limit the usable look-at angle. -1 is looking directly away, 0 is looking perpendicular, 1 is looking directly at. To allow a deviation of at most 45°, insert cos(45°) ≈ 0.7071 or for 5° use cos(5°) ≈ 0.9962 (see dot product).
Move Direction (Pitch Yaw Roll) (movedir) <angle>
Specifies the direction of motion to move when the button is used.
Delay Before Reset (-1 stay) (wait) <integer>
Amount of time, in seconds, after the button has been pressed before it returns to the starting position. Once it has returned, it can be used again. If the value is set to -1, the button never returns.
Speed (speed) <integer>
The speed that the button moves, in units per second.
Health (Obsolete) (health) <integer>
Legacy method of specifying whether or not the button can be shot to activate it. Use the Damage Activates spawnflag instead.
Lip (lip) <integer>
The amount, in inches, of the button to leave sticking out of the wall it recedes into when pressed. Negative values make the button recede even further into the wall.
Sounds (sounds) <integer choices>
Make this button emit a sound when pressed.
Note.pngNote:The list below was made for Half-Life 2. All games support this keyvalue, but some don't have a number of these sound files. To edit these sounds, look for Buttons.snd (followed by a number from the Value column in this table) in hl2/scripts/game_sounds_world.txt or your game's appropriate Soundscript file.
