Give the player some friction when moving after being pushed

Not really sure how to word this but lets say you are a ball and are bouncing around and moving. Its a flat surface so everything moves fine.

Now introduce some 45 degree ramps. You fall on one straight down and bounce away from it. At the moment you can instantly move back regardless of how soon you hit it or what angle or speed your traveling at where it should be harder from the momentum of the push because it was at an angle. Kind of like a small gradual momentum until you reach 0 velocity, then you can move normally.

if (playerLeft)
{
float xVelocity = (playerBody.velocity.x > 0) ? playerBody.velocity.x - playerSpeed : -playerSpeed;
playerBody.velocity = new Vector3(xVelocity, playerBody.velocity.y, 0);
}

if (playerRight)
{
float xVelocity = (playerBody.velocity.x < 0) ? playerBody.velocity.x + playerSpeed : playerSpeed;
playerBody.velocity = new Vector3(xVelocity, playerBody.velocity.y, 0);
}


Originally i only had 1 line for each where i would set the x velocity equal to the player speed regardless if the velocity was -1 or -50. You can imagine how unrealistic that looks.

I tried adding the velocity which is what i did above. But because its minimum is only ever around 6 below 0. It will reach its max speed in 2 or 3 frames which isnt gradual enough.

This is done with Physic Material.

1.First, create a a Physic Material by going to Assets ---> Create ---> Physic Material.

2.Drag the Physic Material to the Material slot of the Object's collider.

3.Below is what the Physics Material looks like when selected:

You can select the Physics Material and modify it's settings in the Editor or you can do that via script:

SphereCollider yourCollider = ...;
yourCollider.material.dynamicFriction = 0.6f;
yourCollider.material.staticFriction = 0.6f;
yourCollider.material.bounciness = 0.0f;


This allows you to modify the bounciness and friction of the object during run-time. I suggest you watch this video to understand the basic settings.
