The Old Aperture pillar button

prop_under_button is a point entity available in Portal 2. It is a button which is activated by player use or by game inputs, for use in underground test chambers. It has the exact same function as prop_button, but with a different model and sound.

Keyvalues

Note: See Model entity/Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs for keyvalues and inputs that affect model rendering.
Note that the following keyvalues are unavailable due to being overridden by game code:
model, sequence, solid, fademindist, fademaxdist, fadescale
It may still be possible to use their associated inputs or AddOutput them.

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.

Delay Before Reset (delay) <float>

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.

Play timer sound? (istimer) <boolean>

If set, this button will play timer sounds while button is depressed. This allows fast reset by default - use Prevent fast reset to stop this.

Prevent fast reset? (preventfastreset) <boolean>

Buttons that are timer's allow you to reset early - use this to make the button stick for the entire duration.

Skin (skin) <choices>

Affects the pillar skin. Same as a prop entity's Skin KV.

• 0 : Clean
• 1 : Rusted

Note:This appears to be a holdover from prop_button and has no actual effect because the model used by prop_under_button only has one skin.

Solid ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean> !FGD

Makes the button non-solid to objects and the player. It can still be pressed like normal.
