dive-forward
Push off, fly forward with the body laid out and arms extended, and land low and prone.
Composes: move-arm + move-torso + move-leg
How
- Use a
sequence with loop:false. Frame root is ABSOLUTE; compute the travel axis from state.position+state.faceDeg (0=+Z, 90=+X). The example assumes origin facing +Z.
- Beats: push off (crouch), flight horizontal (arms forward, legs back,
root.y0.3, z), land prone low (Spine+X80, root.y~-0.45).
durationMs ~1200.

Limits & posture
Keep ≥1 foot grounded except at a jump's airborne apex; stay inside human joint ranges and keep weight over the support — see balance-and-posture.
