I can only think of putting in "$surfaceprop" into the decal VMT file or placing an invisible 1-unit-brush right over it and making it an unbreakable func_breakable with the material type you wish, but as i'm thinking of this func_breakable idea i'm pretty sure this wouldn't work, so forget the last part of the sentence...

Also you could make fully translucent 2x2 px textures (alpha channel, hope you know how it works) and then make them use the surfaceprop you want in the VMT and then place 1-unit-brushes with this material right over the decals.
Only do this if my first suggestion doesn't work and when you're sure it's not behaving weird when players step on it.
Or you could try making them non-solid to players and solid to bullets...

I tried $surfaceprop With slime and slipperyslime.
no luck

it's for a mapadd so brushes are out of the question.

Never mind I could always use point_triggers and ambients to maybe get atleast some sort of the effect. Though I'm not sure its worth it.

Prehaps I'll add some low volume radius ambient_generics. Just giving off general slime sounds.

cheers for your help.

What about an invisible model added via prop_static? I think I'm into invisible stuff today

Also you can make models lower than one unit, so they'd be better than brushes...
