Sometimes when landing from a double jump my character doesn’t land and begins sliding around as if he is still in a falling state and i can’t do anything at this point apart from move to influence the sliding. I either have to die or wait for the character to somehow land at seemingly random moments during the sliding. I have no idea what is causing this and was wondering if i could get some help.

Here is a link to a video of what the sliding looks like:

  
Edit: Here is the Character BP With a closer look at the jump event specifically

You should provide more details about character setup, because I think problem somewhere in it.

I have nearly the exact same setup. My guess is you have something flagged somewhere that is causing the odd motion.

I fixed it by changing the friction in the character movement
