[ODE] First person shooter - falling over

[Megan Fox]

My solution is to float the body off the ground with a ray and create
a system to "fake" friction based on player values (like Strength -
the stronger you are, the more force you can resist, the faster you
are the faster your top speed, the stronger your legs the faster you
can accelerate, etc).

Turning friction to 0 on the player body "can" work, but then glancing
collisions (player vs wall, thrown box vs player) look completely
wrong.  Instead of a nice thud-y collision, the body sorta slides off,
or the player sorta slides around the obstruction.
