I am talking about shooting portals while being underwater, you can't do that.

Any water will damage you eventually if you're under it for too long due to drowning damage. Godmode disables that, however.

This is untrue in Portal and Portal 2. You can swim in the liquid (submerged) for an infinite amount of time without damage taken. If you could still take damage VALVe would have simply used that as the reason you die in toxic pits (by editing the time and amounr of damage done) and not by trigger_hurts.

Well, Grox, I can remember clearly I tried to stay drown in a non-toxic (without a trigger_hurt in it) slime and getting hurt if I didn't come up to the surface...

But anyway, I'm curious... I'll recheck again this evening.

True. But maybe OP doesn't need to be able to shoot under water. And if he does, maybe the vmt has a variable that disables shooting that can simply be removed...
As for the things you say here, they pretty much all seem right.

Could also be a variable in the vmt. Worth checking out, if only I had the time...
Also, they have normal heel-high water that shouldn't hurt the player so that's probably why they depend on trigger_hurt to do the killing. Seems silly if VALVe can't program that...

Err, I was saying same on my previous post, but I tested it and went underwater and after shot time, hud started to shake and made noises like drowning, unsure does player die thought, didn't wait for that long.

I would post a video... but anyway, that what I mean. i can shoot portals:

above the water when I'm underwater.
underwater when I'm underwater
underwater when I'm above water.
etc.
