Cheating provides the mapper with some useful tools to test and debug levels. To enable cheats, you must run the Half-Life executable with the -dev parameter.

If you're at all confused about how to use the parameters or enable the Half-Life console, refer to the following link:

How do I access the Half-Life console? (Link: index.php?doc=1015285463-68937100)

Once in Half-Life, you will be in developers mode. There are 3 settings for Developers mode:

0 - off
1 - on (normal, default)
2 - on (verbose)

You can change developer mode value by typing developer n in the console, where n is 0 - 2. When in mode 2 , a message will be displayed for each even that gets activated - this is quite handy when you are setting up complex sequences of events.

The following cheats can be used (by typing them at the console):

god - invulnerability
notarget - monsters do not attack you
noclip - allows you to move in all directions, even through walls

As well, the following impulse commands are available to you. Type impulse n at the console, where n is equal to one of the following impulse values:

101 - gives you the HEV suit, weapons, and ammo
102 - spawns gibs and blood
103 - (while looking at monster) gives you stats of monster
104 - list global entities
105 - makes player silent
106 - (while looking at model/sprite) gives model/sprite info
107 - (while looking at a textured object) gives texture name
195, 196, 197, 199 - ai node information
203 - deletes a monster or NPC from the world
