How to change water friction in CS 1.6

Type sv_waterfriction 1 in the server console to set how fast swimmers slow down. Higher stops them sooner; 1 is the default.

sv_waterfriction

Sets how quickly players slow down in water.

sv_waterfriction <value>

Examples

sv_waterfriction 1

Default value.

Arguments

valueRequired
Water friction factor. 1 is the default.

What it does

Higher values make players lose speed faster while swimming, lower values let them glide. The default suits all standard maps.

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.
