If I want to place a light wich can be turned on/off, should I make a brush and tie it to entity func_button and set the name (for example: pilarlight) and then set the lights name also to pilarlight? if not how do i do it? and how about several of lights wich are wanted to be turned on/off from the same button?

You need the light's name to be whatever and the button's target set to whatever.

About multiple lights, I forget...

trigger_multiple?

e.g. Make a func_button with target name Multi
Make a trigger_multiple entity with the name Multi and then uncheck the smart edit and under description (or whatever it is) write e.g. Light1 add a new one and write Light 2 and so on. Under value write 0 or write the time (in seconds) of the delay before the lights are turned on after you press the button.
Make your lights and set their names to Light1, Light2...

Give all the lights the same name and trigger that name with your func_button.

Yeah... no. That's not what he asked for in 2 aspects, and I'm not gonna list 'em.

I think he was asking how to make several lights that were triggered by the same func_button. I also think that trigger_multiple works if you want to do that.

No, it doesn't trigger more than one entity and it's not a button.

The button triggers the multi_trigger, the multi_trigger triggers the lights. That's how it should work. I think...

EDIT: omg just now realized what I said wrong. It's not multi_trigger or trigger_multiple, it's multi_manager :)
