Locomotion System - difference between OnFootLand and OnFootStrike

Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am using the Locomotion System for my run animation, and I am triggering a footstep sound with the messages LS sends. But until now I couldn’t figure out the differences between OnFootLand and OnFootStrike, as at every step, both messages are sent. Could you explain it?

Thanks!

Tobias

OnFootStrike is when the foot first hits the ground with either the heel (typically) or the toe. OnFootLand is when the whole foot has landed flat on the ground.
