charger

I want the health and battery chargers to respawn health slowly for HL2 Multiplayer.

Explain a bit more please, whet do you mean?

Do you mean you want the items respawned slowly? If so then set the respawn rates then

Or have it so that the player's health slowly rises as they walk
around? If thats the case then place a large trigger hurt in your map,
and give it a negative hurt value.

No, I mean the chargers, the machines you press E on to heal health or energy. I want them recharge overtime.

ehm....they already do that, you just have to wait long enough.

lol. I guess you didnt noice they reharged on their own in deathmatch
:razz: , and
you probably didn't even look at any of the sample sdk
maps (sdk_dm_lockdown). Just as a rule of thumb, try putting some
effort into solving you own problem beofore making a post here...

The chargers go from being unusable to giving you 30 health after a set
period of time. I think he wants it to give you varying amounts
of health depending on the last time it was used.

So -- say the original charger takes 30 seconds to charge back up and
at any point before its fully charged you can't use it... he wants you
to be able to use the charger after only 15 seconds of inactivity for
15 hp.

Am I right agoaj? If I am, I still don't know how to get that to
work. But at least other people will understand what you want.

I've played around in my maps and never noticed them regenerating. It
must be too slow, so is there a way to control the regeneration, like Morphine said.

you can set a func_hurt (or whatever its called now) to a negative number and it will heal.

shrugs

will that suffice?

Guess not. shrugs

I never dreamed that someone would ask a charger to do whats it already does. :/

Note that they only recharge in HL2DM - if you have been testing your
maps in HL2 single player, they will not recharge. There wasn't any way
to vary any of the properties of a charger in HL1 and I doubt there is
in HL2, but I haven't actually checked.

Further to what Orph said, making trigger_hurt's with negative damage values was a much-used trick in HL1DM to make 'healing pools' and the like, though I don't know if it works in HL2DM still.

You could probably rig a "fake" health charger with some entities. Just
use a prop_dynamic_override for the charger model, have a func_button
that plays a looping ambient_generic for the sounds and the trigger,
then just put a trigger_hurt in front of it that is enabled/disabled
with the button.
