Adhesion/Reflection Gel?
Alternately, it seems that there's new gel code in the game, for reflecting stuff. Has anyone yet tried to fix the textures on it?
(personally I hate reflecto gel anyways)
The adhesion somewhat works but can cause complete loss of orientation, which can get people really sick

I heard reepblue found a way to change the color.

But didn't Omni reskin it to purple for his adhesion gel? It seems like a cool test element, if nauseating.
@spongy: if reepblue did, I want to know 
) I too would like to know because red gel looks so much better than orange gel in my opinion.

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.
I expect it's something much cleverer than any of these, though, knowing Omnicoder. I wish we could email or otherwise ask his permission.
you use triggers to detect them.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
