Wiki: func_recharge

func_recharge - Brush Entity

This entity when USEd (i.e. the player stands close to the entity, looks at it, and presses the [USE] key) recharges their armor over time while the [USE] key is held down, until they reach 100% armor or the recharger is depleted.

If textured with a "toggle texture" (texture having the prefix "+0" or "+A" in its name). Then the "on" (+0) version is set automatically when the entity spawns and switches automatically to the "off" version (+A) when it runs out of juice.

In deathmatch games, when the juice is recharged, the "on" (+0) version is set.

The health counterpart is func_healthcharger.

Difficulty	Easy	Medium	Difficult
Juice (Singleplayer) (AP)	50	40	25
Juice (Multiplayer) (AP)	30	30	30

Notes

The amount of juice cannot be changed per-charger unless custom code/server side scripting is involved. If you are making a mod and wish to change the amounts, copy/paste the skill.cfg file from the base game/mod to your mod folder and update the sk_suitchargerX skill CVARs values (X being the difficulty number, 1 for Easy, 2 for Medium and 3 for Hard).
Player must have the H.E.V. suit/P.C.V. (item_suit) in order to use this entity.
In multiplayer games, the amount of juice is forced to 30 AP. For an unknown reason, the health charger counterpart (func_healthcharger) does not have this nuance and thus uses the difficulty value based on the server's settings.
Due to an oversight in the code by Valve, the Recharge time in multiplayer (dmdelay) property has no effect and thus is forced by the multiplayer game rules to 60 seconds (1 minute).
If the angles (or the Yaw compass) value is nonzero the entity will rotate around its origin (around origin brush or (0 0 0)) by that amount at spawn.
If given a name, this entity can be triggered to charge the armor of the player in the activator chain. For example, a player pressing a func_button or passing through a trigger_multiple that has a func_recharge in the target chain gets 1AP on each trigger. Can be used to have a limited effect that respects the per-difficulty juice.
If Angular velocity (avelocity) is given a nonzero value the entity will rotate when being used.
The Dreamcast/PS2 ports of Half-Life and its expansions (as well as the fanmade PC port of Half-Life: Decay) uses a model-based entity named item_recharge. This is not available in the PC version of Half-Life and its expansions unless implemented by mods (like the aforementioned Decay port).
