Hi,

an input action that launch an Animation with root motion should do the trick.

Oh Wow… I was killing my self setting new speeds making the caracter have friction and all of that. But this seems alot better, I remember batman speed does not go down while sliding. I hit the checkmark when I can Test it. Thanks.
