Notes

  • The CharacterBone enum corresponds to the standard humanoid skeleton rig
  • Movements is used to track and respond to the character’s current locomotion state
  • FacialExpression requires character models with facial animation support
  • The Actions enum currently only includes Jump but may be expanded in future versions
  • Used by Character.cs for movement states and actions
  • Used by AccessoryAttachment.cs for attaching items to bones
  • Used by IKHandler.cs for inverse kinematics control
  • Used by animation systems for transitioning between movement types
