item_healthcharger #

Model-based health charger from PS2 version of Half-Life.

Skill variables #

Same as func_healthcharger

Soundscripts #

• Same as func_healthcharger
• WallHealth.Deploy - player when the player is nearby, along with the deploy animation. Derived from WallHealth.Start.

Visuals #

• WallHealth.Tank - the tank/jar model (with a green liquid).

Model assumptions #

The default model of the health charger is models/health_charger_body.mdl. It’s expected to have the following properties:

• The following bone controllers:
  • index 0 - the arm part that rotates to the player. The value 0 means the arm is at middle position when deployed.
  • index 1 - the camera part that tracks the player’s movement. The value 0 means the camera is looking forward.
• The following sequences:
  • still - waiting to be used.
  • deploy - deploy an arm when the player is near.
  • retract_arm - retract the arm when player went out of reach.
  • give_shot - start giving a needle shot.
  • retract_shot - retract the needle before retracting an arm when player stops using the health charger.
  • prep_shot - the arm is deployed but is not being used yet.
  • shot_idle - continuous use.
  • inactive - depleted.

All bone controllers and all the sequences are optional. If some sequence is missing it resets to the first sequence (index 0) in the model.

The default tank/jar model spawned along with the health charger is models/health_charger_both.mdl. It’s expected to have the following properties:

• The first bone controller is used to show the amount of healing juice left.
• The sequence 0 is a still state (before the health charger is getting used).
• The sequence 1 is a sloshing state (the health charger is being used. This is forced to be a looping animation).
• The sequence 2 is a transition to rest (from sloshing to still).
