I've been working on re-implementing sticky gel lately.
Here's a test video, first surface transition is around 25/30 seconds in and then it happens quite frequently for the rest of the video.

The room is a boring box I know it's just a very simple map for testing the gel.

That's amazing, how'd you do that? Whenever I try to put stickypaint in my map the game crashes

How did you code the gel? I thought the code for sticky gel was removed. Did you have to recode it? If so, how did you code the gel part (I know how to do wall walking). Also, your camera transitions are a bit sudden. It seems like you might be able to make them smoother by doing camera overrides during the transition.

Will you be releasing the .vmf?

Also, will the cube (when covered in sticky gel) stick to props? So if a prop_floor_button is on the wall/ceiling can you throw a cube at it and make it stick to the button?

No, like I said I made this from scratch they removed the sticky gel code from the game.

Very impressive coding then. Any chance of you releasing how you did it? I'm sure many people would love to know how to create new gel types (myself included)

Nice work, are you using scripting to rotate the player or the room (if at all)?

Also a design idea: after playing Tag & frequently getting confused in the sticky paint sections, it would be handy to have some constant visual indication of the gravity direction, like arrows on the wall textures & distinct floor & ceiling appearance.

Please tell me that this will be a public release, i'd love to make a map using it. I'm too much of a tard to create it myself.

A fitting name for this if it ever does see a full public release would be adhesion gel.

That's what I've already been planning to call it.

Sooo...maybe a grid of triggers filtering for the paint which then enable other triggers which interface with a vscript which handles the rotation?

I think the full name for this was the Aperture Science Peanut-Based Hyper Attraction Gel, but Adhesion Gel sounds much better.

Omnicoder you are a god.

No, and he doesn't come on here much anymore. Look at Sicklebrick's map "Prey" for a similar concept.
