Flags

• 1 : Not Solid
• 32 : Toggle (Disable Auto Return) - Toggle the direction of the rotation each time it is pressed. If set, overrides the returnspeed keyvalue. (This entity automatically toggles if returnspeed is set to 0.)

Inputs

• RenderFields:

Alpha <integer 0–255>

Sets the entity's transparency to a number from 0 (invisible) to 255 (fully visible). Requires the entity to have its rendermode set to a number other than 0.

Color <color255RedirectInput/color32>

Sets an RGB color for the entity.

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

• Lock

Lock the button, preventing it from functioning.

• Unlock

Unlock the button, allowing it to function.

• SetPosition <float>

Move to a position. The parameter must be a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is the unrotated position and 1 is the rotated position + 'Distance'.

• SetPositionImmediately <float>

Immediately teleport to a position. The parameter must be a value between 0 and 1, where 0 is the unrotated position and 1 is the rotated position + 'Distance'.

Outputs

• Position <integer>

Fired whenever the button moves. The output is the position of button from 0 to 1, where 0 is the unrotated position and 1 is the rotated position + 'Distance'.

• OnPressed

Fired when the button is first pressed. (!activator is the player.)

• OnUnpressed

Fired when the button is first released from being pressed. (!activator is the player.)

• OnFullyClosed

Fired when the button has reached position 1, the rotated position + 'Distance'.

• OnFullyOpen

Fired when the button has reached position 0, the unrotated starting position.

• OnReachedPosition

Fired whenever the button reaches a goal position: i.e. when it becomes open, becomes closed, or reaches the point specified by a 'SetPosition' input.
