Citizen/animgraph: use a nested State Machine (single transition, conditionless) to always fade in the post-jump airborne state over a longer period of time than the downstream SM allows (see commit comment) If we go straight from grounded to airborne (without a jump) then we still want to fade the airborne state quite slow... but we also want a fast snap-free state transition back to grounded if we land almost immediately. Snaps happen if a transition out of a state engages while you're still transitioning into this state. The 'protection' against snaps is done by using 'Time in State' conditions that are slightly longer than the previous transition's blend time. But if we keep that time too high, having very fast transitions (e.g. land-grounded-airborne-grounded-airborne) can look really off. You'd be in the airborne state for a noticeable period of time even though you're running. Therefore a very short 'protection time' below 200ms is required. But with such a short time, going straight from grounded to airborne is too snappy. Therefore, inside the state, we use a new SM, with a single conditionless transition, to always fade in from the upstream state gracefully, over a longer period of time. Because it's effectively a nested SM, it doesn't matter that the downstream state transitions are 100ms long. And because the jump-to-airborne transition is quite long, not only does it barely matter that this fade-in always happens, I also think it makes it look a bit better... The SM always needs to receive a reset from downstream to restart the fade-in from the start, so I have to use yet another 'makeshift reset blocker' to prevent the upstream movement states from getting reset. (Otherwise you'd see a snap as soon as b_grounded went false)
