TWINE: Running jump doesn't work

[jp438-2]

When trying to do a running jump Twinsen just freezes when you press the jump button until you let go and just keeps running.

Are you sure that you are not mixing this with LBA2? I can't do this in lba1 in the original game, too.

I just tried it out on DOSBox. It seems that, although there is a difference between the original and TwinE, I was partially confused between LBA 1 and 2 (no literal "running jump"). However, the behaviour still isn't the same as in the original it seems. When playing the GOG version in DOSBox, pressing and holding spacebar while running makes Twinsen stop running, transition to his idle pose over a few frames, and then start jumping from the idle pose as if you were standing still when you pressed jump. In ScummVM pressing spacebar while running makes Twinsen freeze on his current animation frame until you release the spacebar when he instantly changes to his idle pose (without a transition) and then starts the run animation again with no jump.

Sorry, accidentally replied to my comment instead of editing it.

One final thing I noticed is that while Twinsen is frozen on his running frame because you are holding spacebar you can hold right to make him rotate right on the spot with no animation, however holding left does nothing. This probably isn't important as the frozen state is a bug anyway, but I thought I would mention it regardless as I found it interesting that you can turn right but not left in this state.

This is all about the input system refactoring to the scummvm keymapper. The issue at https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/11981 is related

This bug must be hidden in Movements::processBehaviourExecution

1fddaefa2b6d31e3a1cf165cbe74ef1051029fa2 improved the issue. It is not possible to continue running after the jump was finished atm. But I first have to verify that this was the original behaviour.

But even if not, it would be great to continue running after ending the jump...

38360e51c47b351b6e0026ee7482c86218f7d90c should fix the continue-running-issue. So this should be fixed. If not, please reopen. Thanks a lot for your report and testing.
