Well, there's sliding and sliding :-)
I don't want to slide down a ramp, but I do want to slide down a vertical wall. Perhaps what I am wanting is unreasonable. As it stands though, you can wedge yourself in the corner of a room by jumping up and moving forward (which would be a nimble and athletic thing to be able to do, but not very realistic).
The point is that in the corner there is nothing underneath your feet preventing gravity from working. I assume the walls are not made of glue. On a ramp there is something, albeit at an angle.
I guess I could use full sliding collisions and look at the surface normal below my feet and apply a suitable frictional force to counteract the gravity.
In my case the camera is the same thing as the character, I was just being loose tongued.
