📋 About This Mod

Crouch Sliding

A behaviour mod that allows you to crouch slide and slide tackle people

xhUXZs1jiko

This mod adds in a crouch slide, for both 3rd and 1st person. When you're sprinting simply press your sneak key to perform a crouch slide, this gives you i-frames and(optionally) will cause surrounding NPC's to ragdoll away from you!(enabled by default) While in 3rd person only, when you have Better jumping installed, you can also jump out of a slide!

With the 2. 0 update You no longer stay in crouch after sliding, you continue sprinting, granted you're going forward or didn't pan your camera round, you can change this so it works like the previous version by changing globals via console commands, look below on how to do that

there is now fancy slide effects when sliding on different terrain

 

With Better jumping installed you can perform a jump as your sliding to get a sort of but not too far long jump

it's not quite Mario 64 levels of long jump and because this is Skyrim and I didn't do no SKSE coding the jump can fail sometimes :/

In previous versions there was spells to change stuff with the mod I've removed them and just settled on using globals to save bloat

There's 3 Globals you can tweak to change settings of this mod:

CsSlideTackle setting this to 0 will prevent the slide from ragdolling fellas

CsEndStand setting this to 0 will keep you in crouch after sliding like version 1 did

CsFootDust setting this to 0 will disable the dust that emits from the players foot when sliding and disables the vfx when starting a slide

To change any of these values, open the console and type set globalname to value:

for example: you type "set CsSlideTackle to 0" without quotation marks into the console to disable ragdolling npcs, settings them to 1 enables them again

When Updating DO NOT MERGE, REPLACE OR OVERWRITE ONLY

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is an animation mod, make sure to load it after other animation mods in your load order to avoid conflicts.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you can preview the animation in the mod's file tree before installing to see what you're getting.
  • Test the slide in a safe area first to get used to the timing, as it might affect your dodge or sprint mechanics.
