Item healthcharger

Template:Entity This is the health charger which gradually replenishes player health on use, until empty or the player is at full health. A charger normally holds 50 health points, regardless of the difficulty setting.

Placement Tip:

• Rechargers are best placed with a height of around 48 units between the floor and the center of the recharger entity.
• To ensure that the player will gain health rather than lose it, place them in areas occluded from immediate danger, like constant enemy fire from helicopters or tanks. Consider however that, since the player is required to stare at the wall while they are using the charger, they can be used to create tension by placing them where an enemy might still reach the player. Note that chargers could also add good or bad stress to the player if they have to exterminate a load of enemies in a room which a health charger is placed before using it.

In code, it is represented by theCNewWallHealthclass, defined in theitem_healthkit.cppfile.

Notes

• Players can't use it past the limit or maximum health points. Deny. Confirmed with Half-Life 2.
