Stuck in HL2, yea i suck... **spoiler warning**

[Tyson8earzz]

I know... another "help im stuck in HL2!!" thread..

I just cant find any answers to how to get out of my problem inm having. Gamefaq doesnt point it out exactly and searching on the boards here doesnt help either, maybe its a bug, im not sure!

I am in Ravenholm with the dead guy hanging from the noose in the street, with about 1000 zombies and those headcrab thingies. Killed everything i could find. Climbed up a ladder to the roof and grabbed a few more health packs and shells. Now what? I cant find anywhere to go, streets are empty. Is something supposed to happen? A scripted event perhaps? Nothing i do will trigger anything.

Any ideas what i did wrong ?

EDIT:

I tried to make screenshots of where i am at. Look here and here

Tyson8earzz:

If this is the place I think you're at (and I think you are)...

Go into the room to the left of Pic 1 (you should be above it, it might be slightly forward of you). Throw a switch. A wire-guided platform should come up that you can jump onto not far from where you are standing in Pic 1. Then, you can continue.

I got kinda frustrated here because I flipped the switch, but couldn't find the way to get up on the platform (where a there was a chair and lots of ammo and health).

Thx for the hint. Man i cant believe i had alrdy been in that room like a million tims, but just didnt see the lever/switch by the railing, I was too busy blowing stuff lol Once i pulled the switch i knew exactly what to do next.. thx again!

Yea i'm stuck there too exact same place where that dude keeps throwing headcrabs at you, i got to the top where theres a chair and beer bottles and health kits, ammo, i cross the board and get to the place with a door( the one u said has a switch inside the room) i cant open the door. It says cant open door, what the heck did i miss? also f5 takes screenshots but how do i show them to you guys, it wont paste into photoshop? I feel sad right now ~ help me

I think this could be the church that guy with the shotgun kept telling me about, however the door wont open, is there anything i can do? or something else i should do first?

The switch is in this building: Switch and this is the Switch building Switch Building

I didnt see the switch at first cuz i was runnin around like a chicken without its head on!

Mangoluvr: I thought that was the door too, but its not. Look closely at my pics and you will find the solution!

Yea, you're right i missed that switch too. Thats the cool thing about this game, you really have to look around and interact with the environment with all its puzzles and whatnot. I really enjoy all the thinking that it required to progress, up until now this is my second puzzle i couldn't figure out. Anyways i hope im almost done with ravenholm, i hate dark places, too scary

you'll know when you get to the church.
