Where is the turret in Under the Radar?

Where is the turret in Under the Radar? (Solved)

I've defeated the three Hunters in the large manor-like place and have gone up the hill to shut the power source for the force field. I got inside the building with the force field and Alyx starts urging me to blow the turret. Problem is, I don't see any turret anywhere - is this the same old thin, tripod turret? I looked all around the room and must lobbed some two dozen grenades all around, but I don't see any turrets anywhere.

I'm guessing this is a bug? If so, how do you reset the map (and not start all the way from the beginning of the chapter) ?

It should be near the console, behind the chain fence. You can throw a grenade through the blue forcefield at it if it's there. If not, probably need to start again. :x

A turret? Your talking about the combine "trap" right? Theres no turret there but you do have to cut the power supply for the force field. I forget exactly how to do it but it involves jumping up on a ledge, climbing over and then getting into the one room, and then you have to break through a ventilation duct to get in the next with the power orb thing in it.

Or are you talking about the Autogun Turret, The one with all the cars in front of it.

 

[Cheomesh]

Nah the auto gun is way before this.

Nope, not the Autogun turret. I think Avoidist got what I'm talking about. There's nothing around the console at my place (besides, considering the barrage of grenades I've tossed, it would have blasted open wherever it was ) I'll go explore the place some more and see what happens. Anyone know how to reset the map via the console?

EDIT: Me fixy!

Heheh, 'tis a funny story. When I first came to village with the car, I got off and explored the place, just for the heck of it. I checked out the manor and all and it was good. When was passing from the manor the other building (the one with health and armour dispensers), the trap was triggered and I had to do the whole hold-off in Manor scene. My car was on the other side of the manor, though. Rather than taking it, I just strolled to the top of the hill.

Problem is, the combine attack at the turret-building is triggered ONLY when you approach it with the car. How did I find this out? As I was going around the place, I figured I should drop in through the ventilation shaft. The shaft had one end into the roof, so I figured I'd get to the roof. Seeing no reasonable objects, I headed to the manor's basement and grabbed a couple of crates and stacked them. To get some leverage, I figured I'd climb onto my car and jump onto those crates, and then the roof. I took my car and drove over and bang, the Combine attack. And when I go into the building, there's a turret there - like magic and everything works as usual.

I think Valve ought to have fixed this... or am I the only one who likes to stroll short distances rather than drive?

i know what your talking about. really only restarting the map will do. and by that you would need to do the whole battle over again unless you somehow have a save before it.

I always walk back to the forcefield generator don't want to run over the explosive barrels), and I've never noticed a missing turret. But if you solved the problem it's all good.
