trigger_portal_button

This entity is not in the FGD by default .
It should not be put directly in a map because it is generated automatically in code and crashes the game if placed directly.

trigger_portal_button is a point entity available in the Portal games. It is the actual trigger used by a prop_floor_button, prop_floor_cube_button, or prop_floor_ball_button to detect objects. When placed in a map directly, the game will crash as the entity keeps a reference to the button it is tied to, which can only be set through code. A trigger_multiple should be used instead as it functions almost identically.

Tip:The auto-generated triggers use their oriented bounding box as the detection area, so the SetSize() VScript function can be used to resize the trigger.

Keyvalues

Delay Before Reset (???) <float>

Delay in seconds before OnTrigger can fire again, 0 defaults to 0.2. If set to -1, it will kill itself when triggered (as trigger_once), which means outputs like OnEntireTeamStartTouch can never fire.

BaseTrigger:

Filter Name (filtername) <filter>

A filter entity to test potential activators against.

Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>

Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).
