Summary
There is currently no slide effect granted to a player from the Chiller Trap, Ice Block Floor or the Grind Powerup.
The slide effect works when launching a session from UEFN, but it does not work in a published or private version.
This has a major impact on my deathruns and they cannot be completed currently. Please help.

Hi ZeroB,
Thanks for the report, I did a search for ‘chiller trap’ and found this recent bug report.
That thread does not mention Ice Block Floor or Grind Powerup, so I’d mention those in that thread, also consider up-voting.

FORT-1055065 has been ‘Backlogged’. This is an issue we’d like to address in the future.

I was using a Slide effect material on meshes and that is the same, it has happened before and took a long time to get fixed so hoping this time people don’t have to wait as long.

I have the same issue. The Chiller Trap effect appears, but the player does not slide in playtest. In UEFN it seems to work normally, but in the test version the sliding does not happen.
