forward-roll
Tuck into a ball and somersault forward, ending on the feet. Stylized (the rig has no pitch axis), sold by a deep tuck, a root.y dip, and a forward root.z translation.
How
- Use a
sequence with loop:false (frame root is ABSOLUTE — z grows; compute forward from state.position+state.faceDeg, here origin facing +Z).
- Beats: deep tuck (
UpLeg:[110,0,0],Leg:[110,0,0] both, Spine:[40,0,0],Chest:[25,0,0], root.y:-0.3), through the roll (even deeper bend, root.y:-0.6, z advancing), pop up to stand (legs and torso to rest, root.y:0).
durationMs ~1200–1500.
Example
- "do a forward roll" (at x:0,z:0,faceDeg:0) ->
