Nemas Problemas!

Just enclose the area witch you want to change the gravity in, with a huge solid. Then tie it to entry "trigger_gravity". It's keyvalues should be:
Name: gravitytut (example, you can use any name)
Startdisabled: No (if you want the gravity on at start)
Gravity: 0 (You can change it to any value between 0 and 1, for example: 0.16 would be moon gravity)

Now make a button witch will control the trigger_gravity, place it somewhere and remember to set the target to "gravitytut" or whatever you named your trigger_gravity brush to.

That should do the trick!

Start from the beginning- just make a trigger_gravity in the volume where you want lower gravity, and set the "gravity" property. Check that works, then make some kind of Output (e.g. on a func_button) that toggles the trigger_gravity entity.

There is entity help given by the way, which explains all this sort of thing- click the "help" button when editing an entity.

Well thanks for the help. anyway . i did try with the trigger_gravity before i come here. SO my logic was like this . take a big brush big as the entire map because i want to be able to set the entire map with or without gravity. i said it is active on start and the gravity is on on trigger_grav. Then i took a button and i specified on the output to the trigger_gravity's name whatever i choose, to: on press activate or deactivate the trigger_gravity because i tryied both ways being active at start and not being active at the start of the map. I'm going to try again in a new map maybe is a conflict of something....

im probably wrong, but maybe you should use 'enable' and 'disable' instead of activate and deactivate. Or ar leperous said, use the 'toggle' command on the buttons output.

if you use the trigger_gravity and tie it to a brush you dont make it the entire size of the area you want that gravity in. it's a trigger so when you pass through it it takes effect.. so if you entered a small trigger_gravity brush then you would have that gravity applied to you the entire time afterwards, wether you where in that brush or not. That being the case I think that it wont give you the effect unless you go into the brush.. I mean, I don't know if it will effect you if you start off inside the brush, if that makes sense. also, you have to texture the brush with a trigger texture.

if that doesn't work for you check out my goof around map I made. There's a 'wind tunnel' section in there where I turn the gravity to -.1 so you float to the ceiling as if being pushed by a lot of air.
