There is an animation state called Striding. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to achieve it using the keyboard?

I'm guessing it's some sort of walk?

I *think* it is when you're sliding downhill faster than you'd normally walk, but I am not sure.

Striding is an extra-large filler walk that kicks in on uneven ground or prims, it looks a little like stumbling.
For downhill, the walk switches over to running (it will show as Running in llGetAnimation but not in llGetAgentinfo).
ETA: these re automatic things; you can force running with ^R or double-tap, but striding depends on the environment.

Does it kick in at, say, the start of a prim slope, before going into a full downhill run? I seem to recall I've seen something "in between" there?

From: Tali Rosca Does it kick in at, say, the start of a prim slope, before going into a full downhill run? I seem to recall I've seen something "in between" there? Depends on the terrain. You can get striding without breaking into a run at all, like when you walk over furniture. |

But nasty stumbling, right? (Filling in while 3Ring is on break)

Definition of Stride: 3. To stand or sit astride; straddle. Idioms: hit (one's) stride 1. To achieve a steady, effective pace.
