VERC: Half-Life Cheats Last edited 22 years ago2002-03-04 20:49:00 UTC

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
