How can I slow down an avatar. Yes, slow down.

I see things that can speed up an avatar, but other than stopping, I don't see anything that can slow one down.

Besides lag, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Wearing a vehicle in order to use it's friction parameters might do it. using llSetForce or llApplyImpulse with a counter force to the direction you're moving tends to cause unexpected movement when turning or releasing keys, because script reaction time isn't quick enough.

I know if you hold down the spacebar you can slow yourself down for 'fine' control of your positino in world. I am not sure if there is a scripting hook into this I just assumed it was the same as speeding up movement.

If you look at this script (is this the only way to speed people up?):

The speedup is done by applying an additional impulse in the direction of movement. You should be able to just as easily do the opposite, no? Though I agree, lag being what it is, even with normal movement half the time I seem to walk through 4 buildings, about 50 feet below ground, and say hello to the lavamen before my client realizes I only meant to walk 1 meter.
