func_block_charge is a brush entity available in Left 4 Dead 2 Left 4 Dead 2. Chargers won't charge at players to which line of sight is blocked by this entity.

Warning.pngWarning:This entity applies its effect based on its AABB instead of its brush model. [ Edit ]
PlacementTip.gifPlacement Tip:See through fences, bridges where charger could try charging over a gap diagonally to you
AltNames.pngAltNames: This entity is also tied to func_brush. This entity is just func_brush with classname func_block_charge. It's the charger's behaviour that makes him not start charge through entities with classname func_block_charge
Warning.pngRisk of Confusion:This is not meant to block any sort of movement since it's not a solid brush that would block exclusively charging chargers.
