BRUSH func_button

Specifies the direction of motion to move when the button is used.

The speed that the button moves, in units per second.

Legacy method of specifying whether or not the button can be shot to activate it. Use the 'Damage Activates' spawnflag instead.

The amount the button will keep overlapping with the original position. The distance moved = the size of the brush on the movement axis - lip.

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. If the value is set to -1, the button never returns.

No description provided.

Possible Flags:

The .wav(!!) sound file to use. (Only used when old 'sounds' keyvalue isn't set)

Limit the usable look-at-angle. -1 is looking directly away, 0 is looking perpendicular, 1 is looking directly at.

For configuring visual effects. If you want to combine effects, turn SmartEdit off and add the effect numbers together, i.e. 64 + 8 = 72.

Possible Values:

Determines if this entity will cast lightmap shadows.

Possible Values:

The minimum level of ambient light that hits this brush.

Prevents dynamic shadows (e.g. player and prop shadows) from appearing on this entity.

Used to disable rendering into shadow depth (for flashlight) for this entity.

Possible Values:

Used to disable flashlight (env_projectedtexture) lighting and shadows on this entity.

The name that other entities refer to this entity by.

Name by which this entity is linked to another entity in a different map. When the player transitions to a new map, entities in the new map with globalnames matching entities in the previous map will have the previous map's state copied over their state.

The position of this brush entity's center in the world. Rotating entities typically rotate around their origin.

The name of this entity's parent in the movement hierarchy. Entities with parents move with their parent. Set an attachment point via 'parentname,attachment'.

Co-ordinate of the minimum bounding box corner, relative to entity origin. The bounding box is drawn from this corner to the other one. Requires Bounding Box collisions (solid 2) to be used. Can be used to overwrite the collision shape of a brush, although it can only be a cuboid. Can be AddOutputed to change shape at runtime.

Co-ordinate of the maximum bounding box corner, relative to entity origin. The bounding box is drawn from this corner to the other one. Requires Bounding Box collisions (solid 2) to be used. Can be used to overwrite the collision shape of a brush, although it can only be a cuboid. Can be AddOutputed to change shape at runtime.

Method of collision for this entity. Can be changed at runtime with AddOutput.

Possible Values:

Used to set a non-standard rendering mode on this entity. See also 'FX Amount' and 'FX Color'.* Color & Texture = srca+dest(1-a)* Glow = srca + dest, fixed on screen for sprites Solid = Performs alphatest transparency* Additive = srca + dest Additive FF = blend between sprite nimation frames* Alpha Add = src + dest*(1-a)* World Space Glow = src*a + dest

Possible Values:

A color to mix with the model/sprite.

Transparency amount, requires a Render Mode other than Normal. 0 is invisible, 255 is fully visible.

Various somewhat legacy alpha effects. Material Proxies are more modern.

Possible Values:

No description provided.

This keyvalue can control whether an entity should only draw on things like monitors or mirrors, or the opposite. The code for this is { m_iViewHideFlags & (1 << CurrentViewID()) } and supports any combination of view IDs.

Possible Values:

Sound played when pressed. Choose from sounds in the Buttons.snd* category.

Possible Values:

Sound played when the player tries to use the button, and fails because it's locked. These are sounds in the Buttons.snd* category.

Possible Values:

Sound played when the button is unlocked. These are sounds in the Buttons.snd* category.

Possible Values:

A sentence played when the player tries to use the button, and fails because it's locked.

Possible Values:

A sentence played when the button is unlocked.

Possible Values:

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

This object will not recieve light or shadows from projected textures (flashlights).

This object may recieve light or shadows from projected textures (flashlights).

Changes the entity's parent in the movement hierarchy.

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment.

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on it's parent. Entities must be parented before being sent this input. The parameter passed in should be the name of the attachment. The entity will maintain it's position relative to the parent at the time it is attached.

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.

Sets the rotation of the entity relative to the parent's rotation.

Sets the position of the entity relative to its parent if one exists. Otherwise relative to the world.
