is there a way to lower the gravity of a certain area, or slow down a fall, without changing the gravity of a whole map?

Almost 100% sure you can't.

There is an entity called "trigger_gravity", but i never tested it. Maybe it could work.

Changes the touching entities gravity to the value of "gravity".  1.0 is standard gravity for the level. Unfortunately this does not work for players.

Gravity only applies to entities (guns, paintballs, grenades, etc).

could I use a water with surface properties of nodraw and current_down?

[DrRickDaglessMD]

yeah, although when you're submerged in water you gravitate downwards anyway, so using a current might make it unnatural (plus, itd be hard to swim against the current). You may well drown in it, too.

I don't believe you can even swim against the current.  If you do the water idea, you won't be able shoot to well on most servers due to the balls not being able to fly to well through water.

Also you'll drown.

Yes you can. Swim at an angle, and you can move through a current.

I'm really just trying to make it so that you fall slowly at part of the map (a bit like dropzone but the point is to be able to shoot from above or defend from below.)

Hmmm... You MIGHT be able to do this with a trigger_push, but the results may not be very good.  It could be really laggy online.
