How do I make a button, trigger a push, since there is no target? Also, how do I make it so that the push doesnt work untill its triggered? Thanks.

Use the outputs. Click the outputs tab in the properties window, and select a target, an action and when it will be fired.

I tried it and ran it on my map. Heres the screenshot of the outputs on the button, the button being named button1 and the trigger_push being named push. Here, each time you press the button, it turns on/off. Just change the toggle to enable if you want it to always stay on I think.

http://tinypic.com/1tamj9 (Output named OnPressed, targets entities named: push, via this input: toggle) in case the screenie doesnt work.

Theres the screenshot. To make the trigger_push not work until triggered, just check the yes in the Start Disabled property of it. Everything should work fine.
