slide

Drop low and extend the legs forward to slide along the ground, then stand back up.

Composes: move-leg + move-torso + balance-and-posture

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: drop (crouch, root.y-0.3), extend legs forward and lean back to slide (root.y-0.6, z carries), recover to rest.
• durationMs ~1300.

Example

• "do a slide" -> {"durationMs":1300,"say":"Sliiide!","sequence":{"loop":false,"frames":[{"t":0,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[55,0,0],"LeftLeg":[80,0,0],"RightUpLeg":[55,0,0],"RightLeg":[80,0,0]},"root":{"y":-0.3,"z":0.2}},{"t":0.5,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[80,0,0],"LeftLeg":[20,0,0],"RightUpLeg":[80,0,0],"RightLeg":[20,0,0],"Spine":[-20,0,0]},"root":{"y":-0.6,"z":1.2}},{"t":1,"pose":{"LeftUpLeg":[0,0,180],"LeftLeg":[0,0,0],"RightUpLeg":[0,0,180],"RightLeg":[0,0,0],"Spine":[0,0,0]},"root":{"y":0,"z":1.8}}]}}

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.
