    I'm trying to make "slippery/ice controls"
    Basically the player can't change direction immediately; slow acceleration and deceleration.
    currently I'm using rigidbody2d.addforce(direction * force) on a rigidbody2d that has small amount of linear drag in fixed update is there a better way? will this cause any problems?
    and if I want to switch to normal controls I would just set the rigid body's velocity directly, right?
    I also heard that vector2.smoothdamp sort of acts like acceleration, will that work better?

    You're asking for a "better way" but what's wrong with what you're doing? Why does there have to be a "better way"?
