you gotta target it to a deactivate and activate, otherwise it won't work

Don't link it to an NPC link it to an npc_spawner or something like that.

no no no-

the down to earth Basic NPC button

give your trigger_multiple:

wait 1 (you should probably give it a longer wait value- 1 second is kind of short)
spawnflags 4 (just so you have to push use)
target t1

give your NPC_WHATEVER:

count -1
targetname t1

note: I would suggest that you give your trigger_multiple a facing spawnflag and a direction so the Button can't be used unless the player is looking at the button.
you can use a delay key- but it's not really necessary-

if you don't want it to be a button then just don't assign the use_button spawnflag- (spawnflags 4)
I would suggest that unless you are making a single player map you do check that box- but if it is SP then use a Trigger_Once

EDIT: NPC Spawners are used for spawning custom NPC's

thats not what i got

a while back when i was starting up my first map, i really wanted to spawn NPCs (hoping it'd be a popular map choice) it took me forever to figure out this problem, so naturally i posted a thread about it, and i got a response, so now everytime i need to have an npc be spawned, i import a VERY small map with the button in it, i could email the small map to you if you like

(NOTE:it spawns desann but you can change it)

Try what I put and you will be suprised that it works-

I hate to say this but this is a very easy thing to do-
it's what happens every time a NPC appears in SP- except it's in MP and a Spawnflag is checked- you don't have to get a download- it's better that you know what's going on-

durandel- I recommend you do what i put as well-
