Dodging can send the player airborne

Issue Type (Required):

Player Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

Some geometry interacts oddly with player dodges and can cause you to get airtime off a dodge, removing your ability to control yourself (and dodge again) until you hit the ground.

The attached clip is from No Man’s Land, but it happens in other levels too.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Exact specifics unknown. May have something to do with steepness of geometry you can walk on.

Reproduction Rate (Required):

Rare (<10%)

Platform (Required):

PC - Steam

Upload Supporting Evidence (Optional):

It’s quite easy to reproduce

around a 45° ramp, stand near the end of it and just dodge towards the upper part of the ramp, and you’ll slide off

The more dodge speed you have (light weapons / Nimble / other stuff) the further you’re launched off

This is just how the engine works it seems, also why you can fly when dodging near a ledge and keep momentum

I’ve been meaning to make a funny edit of a dumb clip I made on Consignment Yard a few weeks back. I was doing some sliding and dodging and slide-dodging around one of those winding staircases and I bounced like 10 feet in the air and went right over the ledge without grabbing it. Sometimes you can get too sauced on movement and kill yourself.
