250_relay;
Ontrigger; tractor; (...); 250;0.00
Ontrigger; !self; disable;0.01
Ontrigger; -250_relay;enable;0.01

and let your button fire both relays. One is disabled and won't trigger anymore and after the button is pressed the other relay is activated.

if you want to have a cube re-spawning I highly recommend using the default cube-spawner instances; they're really easy to use and look better then a randomly-appearing cube

What you can do here is just to have the default material dispenser model. And use it's item_dropper_idle animation so it stays open all the time and create the cube inside a tube above it so it falls down nicely without any disturbance of the item_dropper.

Step 1:
create a prop_weighted_box and call it cube_dropper_box.
create an env_entity_maker and call it cube_dropper_box_spawner.
create a point_template and call it cube_dropper_box_template
create a logic_relay and call it cube_dropper_box_relay

step 2:
Go to cube_dropper_box_relay and add:
OnTrigger; cube_dropper_box; Dissolve; 0.00
OnTrigger; cube_dropper_box_spawner; ForceSpawn; 0.10 (this is slightly delayed so you don't fizzle your new cube )

Go to cube_dropper_box_template and go to Template 1 and put cube_dropper_box there as value.
Go to cube_dropper_box_spawner and go to Point_template_to_spawn and set cube_dropper_box_template as value.
Go to the cube_dropper_box and give it the output OnFizzled cube_dropper_box_template trigger

Step 3: add a button and let it trigger the cube_dropper_box_relay
Make sure the cube_dropper_box_spawner is where you want the box to spawn.

Step 4: Profit.

You can either use the [img][/img] codes or just place a link

I'd rotate the lamp 90 degrees and let it fit on the texture?

good idea
by prop weighted box u mean weighted cube?

Yea; just a normal cube

Of course I'm quite new to all this mapping stuff, whereas Lpfreaky90 seems to be an old hand at it. There might be a reason it's done his way that I don't know of... ...

As for the glados quotes, still trying to figure them out myself!!
