What's included

• Health charger model
• HEV charger model
• Ohm's charger model
• A sample BSP
• Sample RMF map source for example on how to use in your own maps

Requirements (for sample .rmf)

• VHLT 3.4+
• opfor.wad (from Opposing Force)

Installing

1. Extract the archive to:

   <steam library>/steamapps/common/Half-Life/<game folder>

   e.g.

   D:/steamlibrary/steamapps/common/Half-Life/valve_addon

Part A: Template entity[ies]

1. Create a monster_furniture or cycler entity for each model you want to use. Give it a name.
2. Set the entity's model to one of the models.
3. Put this entity someplace inaccessible in the map.

Part B: func_healthcharger/ func_recharge entities

1. Create a brush the size of a normal health/hev charger (32w 48h 8d) and place them where you want a health/hev charger to be. Or even just place down a normal prefab.
2. Change the brush texture to ORIGIN, on ALL faces.
3. Tie the brush to entity (func_healthcharger/func_recharge).
4. Set the entity's angle to face perpendicularly away from the wall.
5. Turn off SmartEdit mode and add the following keyvalues:

zhlt_usemodel = <name of template entity>
sequence = 1

Part C: Lighting and clipping

• To add clipping, place a CLIP brush with the size of the chargers (usually 32w 48h 8d) overlapping the ORIGIN brush you just placed.
• To have the model take a more fitting lighting (rather than taking the lighting off the floor), add a small brush textured with black_HIDDEN just below the origin brush from Part B. Tie this brush to a func_detail entity and set "Passable" to Yes. Then add a light entity slightly above this brush and with values 255 255 255 10 (adjust brightness to taste). Sloping this brush to point away from the wall should give better result with the flashlight.

CHANGELOG

2024-09-16 [v1.1]

• Reduced Ohm's charger size so its height is the same as HEV's.
• Updated models with some more smoothing and fullbright textures. (only available in Svengine or xash)
• [BREAKING CHANGE] Moved model origin to the center to fix model not picking up lighting properly, and to simplify brush placement.

2024-04-16 [v1.0.1]

• Update sample map
• Added sample map source for example setup

2024-04-16 [v1.0]

• Initial release
