Energy Recharge button

#1 One option is to have the button request the server start/stop the recharge via a command to server. For example, "commandToServer('startRecharge');" when the button is clicked. Then in serverCmdStartRecharge function you can set the recharge rate:-

%client.player.setRechargeRate( %number );

To stop the recharge, you'd make a similar command to server call 'StopRecharge' and simply call setRechargeRate(0.0); from within it.

It's worth noting that the recharge rate is specified in units/tick, that is, for each tick (there's 32 per second) the engine will increase the players energy by %number of units. How long it will take to go from empty to full thus depends upon the %number and the player's maxEnergy entry in it's current datablock.

So for example, with maxEnergy of 32 and a setRechargeRate(2); it would take 16 ticks to go from empty to full, or 1/2 a second.

#2 Thanks alot man, worked like a charm!
