is there a way to make a texture slippery? Like in those surf maps for CS:S and 1.6?

Its in the text file that goes along with the texture, there are some
hl2 textures like mud and gravel_low_friction. I'd just poke
around some of the textures and see what you find.

Can't you place a brush that has properties of low friction instead of mucking around with the texture?

if you were creating your own texture, you could use either 'slipperymetal' or 'slipperyslime' for the '$surfaceprop' value in the .vmt file. they both give the same friction values, but bullets will spark on the metal one etc.
if you wanted to use an existing texture, all you need to do is open it's vmt file (you may need to fire up gcfscape for this) and change the $surfaceprop value (in Notepad)with one of the above. save it as a new .vmt somewhere in your materials directory.
the resulting texture should look exactly the same as the original, but be slippery and act a little differently to impacts.
