Hi all,

I am having real trouble trying to use the cheats...

I am doing this:

"Open Steam, go to your "Play Games" menu, and select Half-Life 2. Right click on it and select "Properties". Click the Launch Options button then type -console. Click "Ok", then close. Double click Half-Life 2 to start the game. Once it is loaded and you are playing, press the ~ key to bring up the console. Then, enter sv_cheats 1 and press [Enter]. You can now enter the following codes at the console window" as advised by this page...

but when I start a new game and get off the train, get in to the cage bit then meet the bloke who tells me not to blow his cover and climb out of a windw I do all this and then press the "~" key like it says but nothing.

I have tried coming out of the game and entering the codes but nothing...

What am I doing wrong? Remember I am very new to this... not a gamer at all but quickly getting use to it.
 
Check your Control options>Advanced>check Allow Dev Console
if you already did that :

if you add -console to the shortcut it should appear open when you start the game. Just leave it like that and press ESC and it'll always be there.
 
My advise to you is to play the game without cheats at least once. You get weapons soon enough, so just carry on playing and enjoy the ride.
