==Introduction==

This guide will show you how to create megachargers seen in dm_lockdown. This is a good way to make megachargers distinct from normal chargers in your deathmatch map.

==Creation==

===The Charger===
[[File:HL2DM Megacharger.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|The Charger]]
Create an <code>[[item_suitcharger]]</code> entity, set its name to <code>megacharger</code> and tick the <code>Citadel recharger</code> flag.

Enter the following outputs:
{| {{OutputsTable}}
| [[File:Io12.png]] || OnEmpty || megacharger_light || HideSprite || <none> || 0.00 || No
|-
| [[File:Io12.png]] || OnEmpty || megacharger_light_ || TurnOff || <none> || 0.00 || No
|-
| [[File:Io12.png]] || OnFull || megacharger_light || ShowSprite || <none> || 0.00 || No
|-
| [[File:Io12.png]] || OnFull || megacharger_light_ || TurnOn || <none> || 0.00 || No
|}

===Charger Model===

Create <code>[[prop_dynamic]]</code> entity and enter the following properties:

{| class=standard-table
!  Property Name || Value
|-
| World Model || models/props_combine/Combine_Dispenser.mdl
|-
| Disable Shadows || Yes
|-

Position the model so it covers the suitcharger's model.
