The func_button is a solid entity that is used to create a physical button in the level that triggers events when the player touches it. Unlike the trigger_once and trigger_multiple entities, the func_button is visible and normally used in situations where the designer wants the player to see the button, such as for an elevator button. However, func_button is sometimes used in places that it's difficult for the player to see, such as on the floor to trigger traps, or quite commonly as a means to open a secret area where it must be shot.
Contents
Usage
The Button tutorial has some examples of the creation and use of the func_button entity.

Attributes
In addition to the settings listed below, the func_button can be made to move up or down by setting its angle to -1 (up) or -2 (down).
Keys
| targetname | The name of the button. Since the button is a trigger itself, this is generally used for killing the button from another trigger. |
| target | The targetname of the entity that will be triggered when the button is pressed. |
| killtarget | The targetname of the entity that will be killed when the button is pressed. |
| wait | Time after pressing the button for it to reset and be pushable again. Setting this to -1 will cause the button to stay pressed. |
| delay | Time after pressing the button before triggering its targets. |
| speed | The movement speed of the button. |
| lip | An offset added to the default movement distance that allows the designer to adjust the amount the button sticks in or out after being pressed. |
| health | If set to any value above 0, the button will only be activated by shooting it or hitting it with the axe. Often used for buttons that open secrets. |
| message | A message to display when the button triggers. |
Spawnflags
The button supports standard spawnflags for difficulty and deathmatch presence.
