Hello, is there any way to prevent sticky bombs from "sticking"?
I was once on a map where bombs would just bounce off and would just roll around but stop after a while.

Stickies don't stick to anything that is able to move or disappear (parentable brush entities, like func_brush), sky brushes and probably some else things.
What I'd do is make surfaces you want stickies to bounce off out of brushes, then tie all such brushes to a func_brush and set it to Dont Render mode - only one edict and it is never rendered.

An important note is that all solid entities will prevent stickies from bouncing with the exception of only 2:
func_detail brush entities
prop_dynamic point entities
I'd also mention prop_static, which is pretty obvious. It actually is not quite an entity, but neither is func_detail.
