Material Friction use for player class

EDIT:
I decided to keep it to myself... Thanks for pissing me off (You know who your are; thanks for the email spams), truly made me change the way i think about the GG community.
If this is something your truly interested in, its just a matter of changing the castRay functions to handout material info.

I would like to change it so the friction calculates with inertia, so a slick surface the player would continue to slide for a distance removing momentum incrementally. I have not yet rotated back to this subject for continuing inquiry as it is working 'good enuff for now' but will update if/when i figure it out.

This was a typo, nothing more. And being we can not be trusted with a message delete function why not make it a funny?

EDIT: oh you changed your post. No matter;
I had luck with that. It works great! Its fun to watch my play testers walk onto an icy surface and unsuspecting slip and slide across it. I also love having the footfall sounds echoing off hard stone floors only to change when stepping onto soft carpet. Truly adds allot to the atmosphere, helping to build a better illusion.

I have posted similar 'bleh' in another thread of mine. And I agree with your (self)censored 'bleh'.

Tom, this would be a slick addition. hint hint

How about some brainstorming theories of how it could be used to apply friction to a player maneuverable surface? Such a feature could be immensely useful.
