func_buildable_button

This entity is obsolete. Its use is discouraged. It may only exist/function in older engine branches.

This entity is not in the game by default, but got left over in the FGD.
This feature is not available anymore.

func_buildable_button is a brush entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. It appears to be a brush based button similar to func_button_timed, intended to interface with VScripts instead of entity logic. It has likely been removed in favor of point_script_use_target.
