When first looked at this I thought it would be about, you know, brush based buttons etc!
This is really useful (If only for the "how to use modle-based buttons" stuff)

Good tutorial. Need some proofreading: we want the button to do look like its doing something when pressed! (Got an extra 'do' in there).

I am going to reference this tutorial in the new one I am making .. I am so lazy smiley

Good job again.

Hey, just started hl2 mapping, just registered here, and just doin my first post: Hi everyone!

@topic:
Nice tutorial, I like the output handling of the hammer compared to hl1. I combined this button tutorial with cbk's dynamic light tutorial to make a toggle lightswitch and came to one problem/question:

Cbk's tutorial consists of two light entitys: a light_dynamic and a point_spotlight. The light_dynamic has a toggle input, but the point_spotlight has only turn on/off; you can't toggle it.

So do you have to put an extra entity between button and point_spotlight to fake/create a toggle function? How'd you make that? Or is there another way?

Best regards

Bash

You need to have the button output to a logic_branch entity:
