Can't open valve

[Sportrax]

In part 2 I have reached a room with a bunch of pipes, a ladder, and water at the bottom. I have climbed down on the pipes and have found the valve but can't figure out how to turn it!!

The use key works wonders...

 

[Sportrax]

Where was I supposed to have gotten the key?

 

[Danimal]

He means on the keyboard, n00b

hold down E on the valve and it should be working

You get it from the blue fairy in the enchanted pond after giving her the feather you got from the flying rooster.

Don't mind the next 4 or 5 posts after yours I'm sure they were ment in fun.

Press the E key (or whatever key you have mapped to USE) and it will turn the valve. E also opens doors and lets you hold objects, like crates, etc.

Fun? More like laughing out loud for 5 minutes before being able to post a reply. He cant be serious.
I'm bookmarking this for when I'm bored.:E

Well, unlike the rest of us, he'll be enjoying hl2 for the first time for the next 6 years. We, on the otherhand, will have nothing to do except play cheesy mods while we wait for hl3.

Do you think it'll take him that long to find the use key?
"Sir, I bought this keyboard here and I want to get my money back"
"Why? WHat's wrong?"
"Well, it doesn't have a 'use' key! It doesn't have an 'any' key either!!"

 

[rabdsqrrl]

are you talking about the part when your in the airboat and there's a huge gate you can't get through and the valve is broken?

 

[(Fragger)]

I bet he's in the room full of explosive barrels and the manhacks. That's why he hasn't found the use key yet.

I'll send you mine.

The use key is designated "E" on your keyboard. I don't know if it is possible to get as far as you have without it though.

Nope. You have to use the boxes right at the very start to escape from Barney's room, and later to flip the switch to start the teleporter.

I'm impressed you were able to install the game and get as far as you did.

I'm also impressed that you haven't ranted as many others do about filing a lawsuit or selling your unplayable game that won't run on high detail with your uber p3 800 128mb ram integrated graphics card.

Yep, and to open the door out to the street in the trainstation, unless a citizen opens it for you.

I thought that too. Maybe he did this with the E key but didn't know that was called the "Use" key. I kind of feel sorry for him now.

 

[Sportrax]

I know what the "E" key does!!! I am standing on the pipe looking at the valve but hitting the key isn't activating the vavle. Is there anyone out out there that has any constructive help or all of you just comedians?

 

[yadalogo]

you hold the key down, dont just tap it!

Sometimes we're a little bit of both.

Than you Yadalogo. I miss understood what the first mean't. I thought he meant use a "KEY" not use the "E USE" key.

Ok Ok. Here's the best walkthrough I've found. It has a picture of the valve in question and what to do.

I couldn't figure out how to play first HL at first... I didn't know how to get the HEV suit. I also didn't know there was a use key :stare:
