Locomotion Slide

• Input → Vector
  • The left stick produces a 2D vector (x, y). IWSDK rotates this by the head’s world yaw to get a world‑space direction.
  • The vector is normalized and scaled by maxSpeed to produce a desired planar velocity.
• Engine Integration
  • SlideSystem calls locomotor.slide(vec3). The locomotor’s MovementController applies acceleration/deceleration and reduced air control; collisions and ground constraints happen in the physics step.
  • When the stick returns to center, slide(0,0,0) is sent to actively decelerate.
• Jump
  • Press the configured jumpButton (default: A button) to trigger locomotor.jump(). Jump height and cooldown are configurable.

• Behavior
  • A subtle cylinder mask is parented to the head and rendered last (transparent). Its alpha animates with input magnitude × comfortAssist.
  • At small inputs, the vignette is near invisible; at full tilt, it occludes more of the periphery.
• Tuning
  • comfortAssist in SlideSystem ranges [0..1]. Set to 0 to disable; 0.4–0.6 is a common default.
  • Keep maxSpeed reasonable (4–6 m/s) to minimize discomfort.
• Tips
  • Fade vignette quickly (lerp ~10 Hz) to avoid laggy sensation.
  • Consider enabling vignette only while moving, with a short fade‑out on stop.

world.registerSystem(SlideSystem, {
  configData: {
    locomotor, // shared Locomotor instance from LocomotionSystem
    maxSpeed: 5, // meters/second
    comfortAssist: 0.5, // 0 disables vignette
    jumpButton: 'a', // any InputComponent id
  },
});

• jumpHeight — meters to apex (default 1.5).
• jumpCooldown — seconds between jumps (default 0.1).

• Offer both teleport and slide; default to teleport + snap turn for new users.
• Use head‑relative direction; avoid rotating input by controller grip to reduce unintended strafing.
• Avoid applying manual vertical motion during slide; let physics handle gravity and slopes.
