trigger_push is a brush entity available in all Source Source games. It is a trigger volume that pushes entities that touch it, except those with a parent.

Keyvalues

Name (targetname) <string>
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.
See also:  Generic Keyvalues, Inputs and Outputs available to all entities

Push Direction (pushdir) <angle>
Angles indicating the direction to push touched entities.
Note.pngNote:In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive changing this keyvalue via "Point At..." creates a new "angles" property. Copy its value to "Push Direction".
Speed of Push (speed) <integer>
The speed at which to push entities away, in inches / second.
Scale force for alternate ticks (alternateticksfix) <float>
If nonzero, scale the force by this amount when running with alternate ticks. This fixes problems with an overly large force due to the longer frametime on when running with sv_alternateticks 1.
Trigger on Start Touch (triggeronstarttouch) <boolean> (only in Left 4 Dead 2)
Trigger on start touch instead of on touch.
Only Falling Players (OnlyFallingPlayers) <boolean> (in all games since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) (also in Garry's Mod)
Only affect players if they are falling (and not pressing jump).
Player fall speed (FallingSpeedThreshold) <float> (in all games since Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) (also in Garry's Mod)
A player must be falling this fast for them to be pushed.
BaseTrigger
Filter Name (filtername) <filter>
A filter entity to test potential activators against.
Start Disabled (StartDisabled) <boolean>
Stay dormant until activated (with theEnableinput).

Outputs

BaseTrigger
OnStartTouch

Icon-Bug.pngBug:Spamming crouch jumps in a trigger can randomly fire OnStartTouch.
Confirm:Is it a Multiplayer issue only?

Icon-Bug.pngBug:Spamming crouch jump in a trigger can randomly fire OnEndTouch.
Confirm:Is it a Multiplayer issue only?
