:Anyway, what I do is: create a prop_dynamic with model switch001.mdl, and then make a 8x8x8 brush tied to entity func_button (flags: Don't Move, Use Activates). If you want a timed button, set the "delay before reset" to long enough to where it won't interfere with the sequence that the button triggers. A push-only-once button should have delay set to -1. Then I set outputs so that when it's pressed, it triggers a logic relay, which animates the switch down with SetAnimation down (as well as open a door, trigger other logics, etc). If it's a timed button I set the logic also to reset the button with SetAnimation up (also closing a door or triggering other logics). | :Anyway, what I do is: create a prop_dynamic with model switch001.mdl, and then make a 8x8x8 brush tied to entity func_button (flags: Don't Move, Use Activates).

Not quite sure what this is supposed to be about. Is it supposed to be a tutorial on those push buttons? --Remmiz 00:17, 20 Nov 2007 (PST)
- Yes. And I would write it, but I can't figure out how to make a ticking sound that is audible anywhere in the map. Using the flag "Play Everwhere" does not do it (it still fades out at distance, or if a wall comes between the entity location and player).
