# Roll Component

## Overview

This component is used to move the character forward. Perfect for Sliding or Rolling mechanics. Make sure to add it directly to your character:

* **Capsule Height/Radius:** used for capsule trace to find an obstacle.
* **Layer Mask:** used to filter collision targets.
* **Rolling Asset:** Motion Warping Asset with rolling animation.
* **Roll Max/Min Distance:** max/min allowed movement distance.
* **Max Fall Off:** max allowed vertical offset for the target point.

## How does it work?

This component uses 2 stages to trace down the target point:

1. Try to find a blocking obstacle in the way. If an obstacle found, abort the interaction.
2. Trace down to find a target point. If no hit, stop the interaction.

After that the interaction will be initiated.

## Motion Warping Asset Requirements

Only 1 Warping Phase is required for this component to work properly.
