List of Codes/Cheats

This guide is a list for most of the important codes and cheats in Half Life

Simple Cheats

1.Enable the Console

In order to enable your console, (cheat box, basically) right click on the half life shortcut. Go down to properties. A box should open up with the properties. Go to the target tab. The line should look something like this: X:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe . At the end of that put -console . Now it should look like X:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -console . Make sure that you are only using one space. Now, go back into Half Life. The main startup screen should have an extra selection that says console. Here you can enter cheats, see what's loading, and even kick people if you are on a server.

But just for the ingame cheats you press the wave key on your keyboard usually on the left of the 1 key (~) and type in all of the codes. If you just want to do that then skip number 2


2.Console Mode - Game of the Year

Instead of ''C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -console''

it's

''C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -dev -console''

Otherwise the impulse cheats don't work.


3.Artificial staircase (1)

Put Trip Mines onto a wall in form of a small staircase. You can actually jump on them and even use them to reach places you're not supposed to reach just yet or even places that aren't supposed to ever be reached like roofs that can be used as shortcuts.


Artificial staircase (2)

Use a Snark (a bug) when facing a wall and jump onto it. Directly throw another one and repeat until you've reached the height you wanted to reach. This way you are able to reach places you're not supposed to reach just yet or even places that aren't supposed to ever be reached like roofs that can be used as shortcuts.


Gauss Cannon-Jump

A technique used in a lot of Ego-Shooters is the Rocket-Jump where you point a Rocket Launcher at the ground and fire off a rocket while jumping to be able to jump way higher than usually. The downside is that you lose health by doing this and since a rocket in Half-Life takes away lots of health it wouldn't really be of good use.
Instead you can exploit another possibility in Half-Life: Using the secondary fire mode of the Gauss Cannon instead of the rocket launcher will also launch you high into the air but will not directly deal any damage (only eventual falling damage).

Super Jump

You go to console and you have to type
X=any number,0-999
sv_gravity X
You should have only one space after gravity and before the number
It shoud look like this
sv_gravity 111


sv_gravity 800 The normal jump

sv_gravity 0-999 You are now the master

sv_gravity 0 You can float and walk in air for amount of time.Highest jump

sv_gravity 999 You can't jump at all

Access any Level

Access Any Level

You must first enable the ''console'' (see elsewhere on the codes list), then in the game, open the console and type ''map x''. x represents the name of the level as listed below; for instance, type ''map c0a0'' for the first level.

A lot of the time you won't begin in the place you would if you accessed the map normally. You will sometimes need to use the No Clipping Mode to move out of the start positions.

Half Life: Opposing Force Cheats For PC

Half-Life: Opposing Force Cheats For PC

To activate the cheat mode

The cheat mode in Opposing Force is activated in a similar way to that in the original Half-Life. In order to activate it you must edit the shortcut you use to access the game so that it reads:

C:SierraHalf-Lifehl.exe -console +sv_cheats 1 -game gearbox

(replace C:SierraHalf-Life with the appropriate path if you did not use the default)

-console turns on the console.
+sv_cheats 1 tells the computer to obey the cheat codes you type in.
game gearbox is present anyway, and tells the game to load Opposing Force rather than regular Half-Life.

Once playing, access the console by pressing the key left of the ''1'' key on your keyboard, and enter cheats here.

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a Virtual Youtuber empire for over a year now and using me as his recruiter. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Hank came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. ⠀⠀⠀
