prop_button
is a model entity available in Portal 2.
It is a pillar style button. It acts the same as the func_button brush and is used as a player activated entity which triggers events in the game. For Old Aperture maps, use prop_under_button.
Keyvalues

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
ortarget
).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.See also: Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities
- 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>
