Ok ...I'm working on a experimental map and want to implement a few unusual (for me at least) things.

The player should slide instead of walk:
I tried it with the ground friction set to -14 ...but the player still get slowed down very hard when ever a face of a brush isn't in the same alignment as the former. A slight flattened angle and you get stuck instead of sliding over it.
When I tested this friction I noticed that the player still creates stepping noises ...it would be cool if I could change this into some kind of sliding noise.

The player should not receive any fall damage:
I know this was made before ...but I can't remember how.
I'll search tomorrow the solution in the wiki (I'm tired right now and go to sleep). But if someone in the meanwhile can nudge me into the right direction, that would be really nice

Ok I'm off. Good Night.

Spoiler

If you are interested ... I work on a special DM map.
I just say, Down-Hill

I think you have to use a combination of things, gravity , water friction, etc etc

Sounds like it might be a buggy nightmare. I wish you luck on this map.
I think I might have an idea what your map might be.

If you are looking to make the player slide around in the map, the best map come to my mind is the CTF-BT-IceRace(Road1)
Download it from I4g and look at the map's zone property. http://www.i4games.eu/maps/CTF-BT-IceRa ... l#comments

My best guess.

To get a faster slide run, hold duck or walk and you'll go faster!
Warning: Wall glitches are common.

For problem #2, JackGriffin made me something that was similar, I was working on a Pop Them Friggin Balloons map and asked if there was a way to avoid fall damage if instead of falling off the map you would get teleported to the top. And he made that script. I'll try to find it in a few days. On a vacation right now

Interesting.

The sliding via lower ground friction is already implemented but this works only on flat surfaces ...if the player hit a ramp is he getting slowed down from 100 to zero in an instant. And sometimes does he receives even a huge amount of damage.

Try negative numbers in zone settings. like friction -16 or water friction see what happens

Already did

Getting fall damage dealt with is super simple via mutator, not sure how to apply it within the map itself though, however, something you'll notice with all the No Fall Damage mutators is that though you won't take any damage, any armor you have will still take it, the only time I have seen a true no damage code work is when I subclassed the death match gameplay and modified it's damage handling bits.

That can be done through an actor in the map itself: this actor could add that kind of mutator, it's not hard.

The test map I'm attaching contains a way to slide over a surface(ZoneInfo>GroundZoneFriction < 0) and two ways to get no damage when falling(left for Kicker, right for ZoneInfo>ZoneTerminalVelocity 500).

Thanks, but you still don't get it.
Think about Down Hill Skying in some kind of half-pipe track. This track has curves and ups and downs ...I need something that won't slowdown the player (only if the player wants it) but avoids fall damage. And the player have to skate over a surface which isn't flat... but the problem is, every face of a brush which is in a different angle stops the player instantly.

If the surface hasn't too high bumps you can use a normalmap(bumpmap).
The hoverboard project of Higor slides even on non-flat surfaces if I remember good.

Hoverboard?! Hmmmmm... have to look into it. is it bound to the XC-Engine?

Here's the Hoverboard.
