I'm sorry if this is a n00b question but i can't find any answers in the Wiki or anything.

I have a cube button, but it doesn't activate if it put a cube on it. If i make it a normal button that accepts anything, the player can press it but the cube has no effect.

I assume i'm missing something here but i have no idea what

I seem to remember from the first and only Hammer tutorial I ever made it through that you use a trigger_multiple that separately detects the player and the cube.

I think Portal 2's methods may actually be different. But I'm guessing there is some problematic I/O somewhere.

Post a screenshot of your I/O setup. Is there any red links? Does "Check Map for Problems" bitch at you? Are you sure you have your keyvalues set properly? Are you using the most up-to-date FGD file?
