Mm... maybe logic_case? Not shure...

Try using an logic_branch, it's a boolean. I think that and a filter, hmm... Experimentation.

uh problem is that i donno how to use anything else then func_button.... so there is no way to use Outputs more and better or something? there is a output button i dont know what it does.. any of you know? called "Mark" ... man i just whant a button do two stuffs one at first press and another at the sec press...

Mark just means to look up what entity it's bound to (The input or output..).

Anyway, if you only want to have that, make two buttons with nodraw on them, and a model or textured button (Which is just a brush or a model!). Place the two nodraw buttons infront of the brush/model, I'd say one unit thick so that they aren't noticable.

Have one start locked, the one you want to use later, and the other start unlocked (usable). When you press the first button (Don't forget to tick the flag "Don't move" on both buttons!),;
Add output - YOUR DESIRED ACTION/S HERE!
Add output - Unlock NameOfTheOtherButtonHere
Add output - Lock THISBUTTON.

Add the same on the other button.
If it doesn't work, make the buttons as strips beside eachother, they might not both get compiled with your map if they're "inside" eachother.

yea i knew i could do that but i whanted one button.. ive gaved up and made two then.. but now i need to figure out how to easly create an on off texture becouse H-L2 dosnt have sutch a tex. i think

You can have a light or sprite go on/off, that way you can fake an on/off state.

Check "toggle" option in button's options and make the outputs "in" and "out"...
