Description

It is possible to roll under certain conditions by holding down and left/right. A roll can last between 15-60 ticks (140 with mushrooms). From a roll, a jump input will produce a variable-height rollpounce.

Notes

To start a roll the following conditions need to be met:

holding down diagonal
not already being rolling animation
either:
- having speed above 12
- being in flip animation
- being in slide pounce state
colliding with a floor instead of a wall/ceiling
allowRoll variable being above 0
- gets set to 15 if tile below is empty otherwise decrements by 1 per tick
having held the same down diagonal for at least 7 ticks (decreased to 2 ticks if speed is above 24)

Rolling stops when any of the following are true:

the head is above the body and either of the following is true:
- the roll has lasted for over 15 ticks and down isn’t being held
- the roll has lasted for over 30 ticks (mushroom effect extends it up to 110 ticks)
the roll has lasted for over 60 ticks (mushroom effect extends it up to 140 ticks)
stopRollingCounter is over 6, which is incremented once per tick if either of the following is true, otherwise it’s set to 0:
- the slugcat is touching a forwards wall, but not if there is a wall on the immediate forwards tile and not in the top forwards as long as the immediate top tile is empty
- the slugcat isn’t touching a floor and neither of the two tiles below it are solid

Rolls can ascend 1-tile differences in floor geometry.

There is a window at the very end of the roll in which a jump input produces a rollslide without needing to re-press down and forward.
