Prop under button

The Old Aperture pillar button

Template:Portal2 point 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

Delay Before Reset ([todo internal name (i)]) <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? ([todo internal name (i)]) <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? ([todo internal name (i)]) <boolean>

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

Skin ([todo internal name (i)]) <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.

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.
