All cheats in the game require the console to be enabled, and sv_cheats 1 to be
set. To do this, open the options menu, select the "Keyboard" tab and press the
button labeled "Advanced...". Make sure that the "Enable developer console (~)"
check box is ticked and press OK. Close the options window and load up your game
of Half-Life 2. Once you have begun playing your game, press the tilde (~) key
to bring up the developer console (press it again to make it go away), it's
usually located to the left of the number 1, and above the Tab key on the left
hand side of your keyboard. To enable cheats, type in "sv_cheats 1" without the
quotes and press enter, once you've done this you are now ready to mix and match
from the following cheats:
god
God mode. Toggles on and off. Use this to become invincible to pretty much
everything.
noclip
Ghosting. Toggles on and off. Just like when you are dead in Counter-Strike,
noclip will allow you to zoom about where ever you please on the map.
notarget
Invisibility to enemies. Toggles on and off. Enemies will ignore you while this
cheat is enabled, feel free to bash them about with the crowbar and receive no
nasty consequences!
impulse 101
All weapons. Per use. Gives you all weapons with full ammo, useful for those
situations where you would rather not go 'eco'.
ai_disable
Disables AI. Toggles on and off. Disables all AI, this means that all enemies
will stop attacking you and each other.
impulse 82
Spawn the jeep. Per use. Spawns the jeep (or buggy, whatever you like to call
it) so you can use it in situations that it obviously was not meant for.
impulse 83
Spawn the air boat. Per use. Spawns the air boat in a very similar fashion as
the previous cheat.
sv_unlockedchapters x
Use values 1-15. Setting game variable. Unlocks the game up to the specified
chapter number, handy after re-installs.
sv_infinite_aux_power x
Use values 1/0. Setting game variable. Setting this to 1 will enable infinite
auxiliary suit power, return this to 0 to live a cheat-free life.
sv_gravity x
Use any complete numeric value, 600 is default. Setting game variable. This
changes the gravity strength in the game, lower numbers will make everything
lighter and higher numbers will make everything heavier. Remember that 600 is
the default value.
map x
Use any valid map name. Loading map. This will change the current map to one
that you specify, get the full list of maps available by entering maps *
in the console.

spawn this item without picking it up, use in conjunction with noclip enabled.
