Adhesion/Reflection Gel?
My philosophy is: what's the point in making something if you aren't going to share it.

Yeah, I feel the same way. I'd love to see how he did the Adhesion gel, even if I don't use it in anything
Is there a way to detect this gel in a script? I've been playig with the Sendificator, making it send Frankenturrets and Bumbleballs, and I found that its laser stops when it hits reflection gel.
only gel bombs can be detected, as physics objects.
you use triggers to detect them.
I have no idea. I haven't seen any API for getting the surface type of a wall, so I doubt that it's possible.

The gel is completely broken as of dlc2: VALVe replaced Sticky Gel's ID with reflecto-gel, so now TWO ids point to reflecto-gel and none point to sticky gel. (BTW, omni's method would still work. I know it, but I can't tell anyone how, because i'm not sure if he'd mind given it's been awhile. )
Let me guess, it's modifying the current client.dll or adding a texture Valve didn't add to the game.
No, it is much, much simpler than that...
..but again, I can't say, because I'm not sure if he wants me too. I'll ask though.
Then shut up about it if you two are going to be 2kool to share with class.

I dunno, if I found or created something interesting, I'd release it to the community right away or ASAP. I even thought of an "Aperture Innovators Initiative" where people could trade/create new elements for mapping (if only I was awesome at Hammer...I have so much ideas that I can't create). We would also take less experienced people's ideas and try to teach them how to make what they want. I guess it's cause I want that to exist already. Oh well, I can dream. And practice. And dream of practicing.
Now let's solve this thing! ^^
That would be really cool...maybe it could be implemented with instances and the editoritems.txt, then using puzzle creator? If there were a program to read in zip files containing an instance and an editoritems keyvalue, possibly...
Dropping a trigger_once parented to a func_physbox as well, which would affect anything that it hit, maybe? Let's keep randomly guessing, eventually we might get it. 
I'm unsure whether or not it's going to be released, it's quite difficult to map for and occasionally a bit buggy. And you likely won't guess how it works, it's not really optimal. I'm still looking to see if there is a better way to do it.
