Let's go into our Scripts and Behavior folders, and Create a new C# script called StickToWall. And then we'll open that up in MonoDevelop. Now we'll need a few properties to make this behavior work. But before we add them, let's extend our abstract behavior. Next, we'll want to make a boullion to keep track of whether we're actually on the wall or not. Let's make this public, type it to boullion, and call it onWallDetected. Next, we'll make two protected properties. One, to keep track of the default gravity scale, and the other, for the default drag. Next, in our start method, let's actually get the values of the player's gravity and drag once this behavior comes online. To do this,…
