leap
A single, committed bound forward — deep crouch, explosive launch, long airtime, far landing. One big root.y arc plus a large forward root.z step.
How
- Use a
sequence with loop:false (frame root is ABSOLUTE — set a far z; compute forward from state.position+state.faceDeg, here origin facing +Z). The engine clamps to room bounds.
- Three beats: deep crouch (
root.y:-0.25, knees deeply bent), big air (root.y:~0.55, knees tucked, far z), land (root.y:0, legs absorb then rest). Swing the arms up at launch for flair.
durationMs ~1100–1400.
Example
- "take a big leap forward" (at x:0,z:0,faceDeg:0) ->
