Temporarily ignore leg friction during slide (w/o CustomPhysicalProperties if possible)

I have a slide mechanic, it applies an impulse, and the impulse works, but well;
the impulse pretty much gets negated instantly, because the legs have friction

so i have 3 solutions:

  • make legs non collidable during the slide
  • remove leg friction
  • use linear velocity so the force is constant and won’t get interrupted

function groundMovement:Slide(character: Model)
	local rootPart: BasePart = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local head: BasePart = character:FindFirstChild("Head")
	local humanoid: Humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	local animator: Animator = humanoid:FindFirstChild("Animator")
	
	local characterAnimations: Folder = character:FindFirstChild("Animations")
	local slideAnim: Animator = characterAnimations:FindFirstChild("Slide")
	
	local characterSounds: Folder = character:FindFirstChild("Sounds")
	local slideSound: Sound = characterSounds:FindFirstChild("Slide")
	
	local fakeCameraPartSize = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	local fakeCameraPart = utility:CreatePart(fakeCameraPartSize, 1)
	
	local impulseDirection = rootPart.CFrame.LookVector.Unit 
	local impulseStrength = 800
	local effectPercentage = 1.15
	
	local slideTrack = animator:LoadAnimation(slideAnim)
	
	rootPart:ApplyImpulse(impulseDirection * impulseStrength)
	utility:GetViewmodelAndAnimate(character, "Slide")
	utility:ApplyFovEffect(effectPercentage)
	
	slideTrack:Play()
	slideSound:Play()
end

If I’m sure you have to remove the HumanoidRootPart’s friction. The HumanoidRootPart is usually where it’s actually colliding. (It may be the torso too, or both.)
