''' | '''Pedestal Buttons''' are a game [[Mechanics|mechanic]] used within the ''Portal'' series. They can be found very frequently throughout [[Test Chambers]] and are primarily used to allow the player to trigger or toggle a particular function. They can be activated with the "Use" key (default: {{key|E}}). | ||
== Uses == | == Uses == | ||
Pedestal Buttons are used for multiple purposes to initiate a particular action. More common uses include the dropping of a [[Cube]], activating a [[Gel]] pipeline and opening a door. They can also be timer-based, where the action, for example -- extending a platform, is only activated for a specific length of time. | |||

* The bonus chambers of [[Portal: Still Alive]] feature an alternate version | * The bonus chambers of [[Portal: Still Alive]] feature an alternate version, which has red lines on the sides (instead of blue) and has a red cube with a skull in the center on the actual button part. This variation is only used for buttons which re spawn cubes, as this feature is never present in [[Portal]]'s campaign. | ||
