Hi,

I wanted to make a sliding slope similar to the ones found in Super Mario 64. Are there existing blueprints/instructions how to make one? If not, where should is start?

Example from Mario 64: [Super Mario 64 | Princess's Secret Slide | All Coin Speedrun 0'20"8 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5eyPx_TFyo)

Use impulse or add movement.

I used actor with simple collision box to define slide volume, and arrow component to set world space vector for slide direction.

When player enters this collision box - I send him an event that he is in sliding area with parameters:

1. boolean ShouldSlide
2. vector SlideDirection

In his Tick function ShouldSlide (true) activates simple AddMovementInput function with SlideDirection.

When player is out of collision box - I also send him event that deactivates sliding (ShouldSlide = false).

This approach works well if you disable all other input/controlls during sliding.

In case you need any controls during sliding - try to experiment.

There are few more things here, like change max speed and disable jump.
