Chiller Trap, Ice Block Floor, Tires, Icey Grappler, Big Chill, Chiller Grenade, Snowy Flopper, and the Grind Powerup friction break completely in live/published playtests.

Summary

Players lose sliding momentum and experience broken friction when using Chiller Trap, Ice Block Floor, Tires, Icey Grappler, Big Chill, Chiller Grenade, Snowy Flopper, and the Grind Powerups in playtests or published maps. While the physics work as intended during local UEFN edit sessions, live published codes treat ice/slide surfaces incorrectly (either completely stopping momentum or causing excessive speed/friction bugs).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place a Chiller Trap then add a movement modulator Infront of the Chiller Trap in a UEFN map.

  2. Launch a live Playtest session or test on a Private/Published Island Code.

  3. Have a player character run onto or slide across the ice surface.

Expected Result

The player character should smoothly gain sliding physics and maintain momentum across the surface without losing forward velocity.

Observed Result

Player character drops all sliding momentum, acts as if walking on standard high-friction surfaces, or experiences glitched velocity state updates.
