Movement & World Interaction Events

Sneaking:

• Non-combat:
  • Enter sneaking while standing: tailSneakIdle
  • Enter sneaking while moving: tailSneakLocomotion
  • Leave sneaking while standing: tailMTIdle
  • Leave sneaking while moving: tailMTLocomotion

• During Combat:
  • Enter sneaking while standing: tailSneakIdle
  • Enter sneaking while moving: tailSneakLocomotion
  • Leave sneaking while standing: tailCombatIdle
  • Leave sneaking while moving: tailCombatLocomotion

• Important: You'll need to track the player's Sneak state in your script, because the "enter sneaking" events will re-fire if the player jumps or falls and you may not want your script to react to every event. Relatedly, if the terrain is a bit irregular, the sneaking events may re-fire even if the character is standing still and the camera simply moves to the left/to the right.

Water Events:

• Player Entering Water: SoundPlay.FSTSwimSwim (can be sent repeatedly if "treading water" near surface. Also sometimes will be sent even when deep underwater)
  • This is sent when the player is moving at full speed underwater and each time the arms swing back.
• Player not moving: SoundPlay
• Player Exiting Water: MTState

Walking, Turning, and Jumping:

• When the left foot is in motion: FootLeft
• When the right foot is in motion: FootRight

Note: When continuously walking, both of those anim events will play out in the expected sequence.

• When the player begins jumping up: JumpUp
• When the player begins falling: JumpFall
• The moment the player touches the ground: JumpDown
• When the player turns to the left, slowly: turnLeftSlow
• When the player tutns to the left, fast: turnLeftFast
• When the player turns to the right, slowly: turnRightSlow
• When the player turns to the right, fast: turnRightFast

Sprinting Animation Events

• When the camera zooms in: StartAnimatedCameraDelta
• The above is followed by: attackStop
• Moment you begin to sprint: tailSprint
• For each step the right foot takes while sprinting: FootSprintRight
• For each step the left foot takes while sprinting: FootSprintLeft
• When the camera zooms out: EndAnimatedCamera
• When sprinting is over: EndAnimatedCameraDelta
