How to make a func_recharge which is empty in the beginning of the map and does not charge itself to be usable. I really mean the func, not button and a sound or something like that.

Don't imagine you can. You'll just have to fake it, as you described.

Fake it if you don't want to code! :P

It's as easy as hell.

Make the healthcharger a func_button and trigger an ambient_generic with the empty recharger sound.. :

Well, according to everyone here, it is the only way to do it, so he can do it their way, or not do it at all. There is always coding, but if he refuses to create a button to trigger a sound, coding is prolly out of the question as well.

No, cannot be a func_, but you can have a func_wall_toggle covering the func_recharge with the empty recharger texture... when you want the recharger to work, toggle off the wall_toggle.

Or have a button, and when you want the recharger to be active, use a env_render on it or use a trigger_relay and turn off the button. (Please correct me if wrong)

My advice is to d/l Tlax's example map, he knows what he's talking about ;)
