The cheats
god
The standard cheat that will make you invunerable to any damage. You can't even get squished with this cheat on.
noclip
Allows you to walk through walls. This cheat works a little different in Half-Life than in other games. You can still
get hurt from enemy fire, you can pick up items, and you'll will go to the next level where you would normally do it.
Generally you could say that this cheat just allows you to move a bit more around, it doesn't make you more airy.
notarget
This cool cheat will make you invisible to enemies, meaning they won't attack you, no matter what you do to them.
This cheat is great for taking screenshots.

Monster Spawning
This is basically a give cheat, but it has limits. It allows you to spawn monsters, including Security guards, Military
Weapons, etc., at a map, but the map must contain the monster, or Half-Life will exit to Windows with the error "
Bad Entity in IndexOfEdict()". To check which entities a map contains, type "entities" in the console, and keep
scrolling up (PageUp/PageDown) to see which models are loaded for the map. Personally I can never get higher up
than about number 40, this is probably a limit in the scrolling lenght in the game. I'm using 800x600 resolution,
higher res might help this. When you've found out what you can spawn, there a few things you have to keep in
mind:
Monsters will spawn excactly where you are, so use the noclip cheat, or you'll get stuck inside it.
Monsters will not be able to move if their bounding box is trapped inside a brush, so float a bit above the
ground, and then spawn it.
If you don't want monsters to attack you (good for taking screenshots), you can use the notarget cheat.
Monsters you can spawn, those with XXX in the brackets have very limited and/or useless, maybe doubtful effect:
alien_slave (Slave), alien_grunt (Alien Grunt), apache (Apache Chopper), barnacle (Barnacle), barney (Secutiry
Guard), barney_dead (Dead Secutiry Guard), bigmomma (Gonarch), cockroach (Cockroach), furniture (XXX),
flyer_flock (flock of birds as seen on c5a1?), gargantua (Garg), generic (XXX), gman (Guy In The Blue Suit),
grunt_repel (Grunt?), headcrab (Headcrab), hevsuit_dead (Dead guy in HEV-suit), hgrunt_dead (Dead Grunt),
human_assassin (Assassin), human_grunt (Grunt), houndeye (Houndeye), scientist (Scientist), scientist_dead
(Dead Scientist), sentry (Light Mahcinegun), miniturret (Light Ceiling-Gun), turret (Heavy Ceiling-Gun), ichthyosaur
(Ichthyosaur), leech (Leech), tentacle (Tentacle), zombie (Zombie), hgrunt (Grunt), nihilanth (Nihilanth), osprey
(V-22 Osprey Plane)
Bear in mind that some monsters will act very weird when spawned in places that are not their natural habit. For
example, an Itchyosaur won't start swimming around in the air, as will Nihilanth's AI not work properly elsewhere
than on c4a3.
Greets to I.am/Half-Life for most of this info.
impulse 101
This neat cheat will give you one of each item in the game, except a health pack and a battery. Type it twelve
times and you'll have full ammo. To make cheating easier, you can bind a key to it, like this:
bind c "impulse 101"
Put the above lines in your autoexec.cfg (create a new text-file with notepad and save it in your Half-Life\Valve dir if
it isn't already there), and replace the "c" with the button you want. You can now get all weapons and lots of ammo
with the press of a button. Press it about 11 times to get fully charged.
