I'm up to the level titled Surface Tension and I seem to be stuck by this stupid ai glitch. I'm gonna explain at what part of the level I'm up to if that can be of help to anyone and to explain what is happening. I'm up to the part where you must use a security guard in order to gain access to the doors. He opens the first door but he won't follow me to the other keypad where I assume he needs to be used again. Another strange thing that happened that could be a cause for this glitch is that the door he opened heals you. When I run into the door it can bring my health up to 250 and I regen health when I get hurt. Anyone think they can help me out with this. If anoyone has a potential fix please state your solutions here because my last manual save is pretty early in the game and I don't want to restart from the begining. So far the things I tried to fix this is restarting the level which seems to work but themain problem here is that i lose my hihd and weapons and i tried using console to restore them but it doesnt seem to work.

Your explanation is a bit vague. Did you just go through the building with the explosives and tripwires, down the elevator? Then through a tunnel back outside, you see a few alien grunts being dropped off on a road, just before a plane comes in and bombs them? Around that place there's a security guard in a building. He opens a door to a room with supplies. Are you talking about that security guard or are you talking about another one? You don't necessarily have to guide him anywhere. In the alley you go up the ladders to the roof and then through the ruined buildings to the helipad. Go through the helipad until you find a tunnel that leads you back to the alley. Don't go into the tunnel. On the side of the tunnel are a few boxes. Jump up ontop of the boxes to get ontop of the tunnel, where you will find a big cannon. use the cannon to blow up the big door at the helipad, then go through the blown up door.

About the bugs. I'm guessing you are using the old retail version, right? I think they fixed that bug in the latest Steam version of the game.

thanks for the respone but im actually before that part. look i see no way in fixing this and in trying so lost all my saves so im just gonna stop playing for know and continue again some other time in the future. or i might just wait for black mesa source and play that, this sucks either way i have always been a console gamer and when i finally get a gaming rig i always wanted to play games like these that defined the genre and the platform and only to be stoped by some stupid glitch. Im just paranoid if it happens the next time i continue playing

Its been many years since I played half life but I remember bugs that wouldn't allow me to continue several times. I always had to reload an old save and replay part of the game.
