Even though the title is pretty straightforward, I'm going to explain myself. I'm playing Ep2 and Alyx got stuck with some kind of table or something and she can't get out, and that's stopping my progress in the game. So I was wondering if there's any way to get her out of there.
Btw, yeah, I could reload an old saved game but the newest clean one is right after you and the vorts save her life, and she got stuck at the radio tower...
 
My bad, it's not really a table. It's more like a counter (not moveable) and she's stuck IN it.
 
There is a way to move NPCs with the console but I don't think it will help much in your situation, though it is useful if you are otherwise messing about with NPCs.

Open the conosle and enter
Code:
sv_cheats 1
and then
Code:
developer 1
This will turn on developer mode which has a few handy features. Then point at an NPC and enter
Code:
npc_select
And a red box should appear around the chosen NPC. Point to where you want to go and enter
Code:
npc_go
And, if possible, they will run to the selected location. Use "npc_select" again to unselect and NPC and "developer 0" to leave developer mode.





This may also work, but it's from memory and may not be correct.
Code:
ent_fire alyx outsidetransition
There is a code that makes NPCs teleport to your side, I think that was it. Or maybe it's insidetransition...





Or you could just reload a previous save game or start from the beginning of the chapter.
