Ok, so who here has played Half-Life? I need a hand.
I havent been playing very long, so Im not very far yet. Im still in the Black Mesa facility, not long after everything went to shit.
I walked into a big, mostly empty room. Stairs leading up to a lever at the end of the room. I pull the lever, two of the little alien dudes pop out of a vent, and the platform infront of me starts to go down. I run down the stairs, dispatch the little aliens, and jump onto the platform. The jump damages me a bit, but I survived.
So the platform comes to a stop and Im in a new room. Bunch of boxes, a pool of water infront of me, and from where I am I can see two health boxes, and a hallway off to my left. No baddies around, so I figure I aughta go fill up my health and wander on down the hall.
Herein lies the problem: I cant move.
I can look around, I can shoot, but the arrow keys do nothing. Neither do the alternate controls, or jump.
My question is, is this a glitch (which Ive ran into more than once already), or is there something that Im supposed to do that Im not seeing?

Lucky you, it just so happnes that one of the regulars here is a writer for planet halflife. :)
There is a known bug with halflife from way back when that the elevators cause Gordons feet to get stuck. try this, if you have the conxole enabled (there is a setting n the options menu for this) , hit the ~ KEY, AND TYPE "sv_cheats 1".
Quicksave the game, then quickload it. then hit ~ again, and type in "noclip". this should allow you to move out of the elevator. You can fly around as much as you want, but once you are free, do noclip again and play through wihtout cheats, its much more rewarding.
