trigger_gravity and trigger_push

Yeah. As I said, gravity in source is a simulated force, not something that is actually applied to things, and as such there is no way to negate it. Think of trigger_push and trigger_vphysics_motion as a gust of wind or something similar to that - they are constant and can only apply, not alter, forces.

You could try changing it with the sv_gravity console command, although you would have to switch on cheats for it to work, but then they could be switched off afterwards.

Gonna have to stop you right there. Gravity doesn't make things hard to move. Mass (and therefore inertia) does. The direct correlation between mass and inertia and gravity is interesting (the more of one, the more of the other), but not pertinent.
