Glide
Introduction
Glide movement allows the player to glide when falling by extending their arms in a T-pose.
Setup
The glide movement is implemented as a movement scene that needs to be added to the XROrigin3D node. This will add a PlayerBody if necessary.
The following shows a player configuration including gliding:
The functionality works out of the box but can be further configured:
