Help! Different Material = Different Movement Cost

[Headshot]

Hello,

I'm currently make a fence like object which slows down pawns walking through it. Everything functions correctly, and it uses the stuff system. What I'm trying to do is have different materials provide a greater debuff for the pawns walking through it. Currently it's set to <pathCost>200</pathCost> which also seems to set it globally. How can I get different pathcosts based on the material used to create the spike?

I'm completely stuck, and thanks for any assistance in advance 

and here's my code currently:

Oh, okay. In that case would you mind pointing me in the right direction? I've not used C# before, but I'm sure I can figure it out.
