charger is a point entity available in Left 4 Dead 2. By default the AI director tries to spawn him anywhere around survivors (SPAWN_SPECIALS_ANYWHERE spawn set). Charger spawns with his melee ability weapon_charger_claw and ability_charge which controls his special ability. Charger's special ability can be affected by func_block_charge.

Tip:To spawn charger manually commentary_zombie_spawner, info_zombie_spawn or ZSpawn script function can be used.

Warning:Trying to spawn charger using SpawnEntityFromTable script function or by placing him directly in a map will crash the game

Important:Spawned charger's classname is player
