How to change friction in CS 1.6

Type sv_friction 1 in the server console for slippery, ice-like movement. The default 4 is normal friction.

sv_friction

Sets ground friction, how quickly players slow down when they stop moving.

sv_friction <value>

Examples

sv_friction 4

Standard friction.

sv_friction 1

Slippery movement for a fun round.

Arguments

valueRequired: Friction factor. 4 is the default.

What it does

Higher values make players stop sooner, lower values make them slide. The Counter-Strike default is 4. Lowering it a lot gives an ice-rink feel used on some fun maps. Maps can set their own friction on specific surfaces regardless of this value.

Good to know

Changes are announced to players in chat because the cvar has the server-notify flag.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to cstrike/server.cfg. New to this? Start a CS 1.6 server first.
