In Half-Life 1 we had textures named +0_button1 and +A_button1. Is there a similar method for Half-Life 2 to make on/off textures? I read the tutorial on buttons...and the tutorial on textures....and searched adnausium but to no avail.

I'm sure you target the other vtf in one vmt....or maybe the second layer of the vtf....just not sure how.

You can do it with a multi-frame .vtf, a few extra lines in the .vmt,
and an env_texturetoggle entity, using the SetTextureIndex input.

I saw a really good tutorial for it over at VERC recently, but I can't locate it now.

Ah, found it:
