Or duplicate any of the already created Wall Run States Assets of any character you own and drag it to the States List.

## Priority

The state should have a higher priority than [**Idle**](/animal-controller/main-components/manimal-controller/states/idle.md), [**Locomotion** ](/animal-controller/main-components/manimal-controller/states/locomotion.md)but below [**Death**](/animal-controller/main-components/manimal-controller/states/death.md)**,** since the animal can be killed at any time. Set it above states that will not be interrupted when the fall is active.

## Requirements

The fall will use the main pivots of the animals  to cast the ray from the Chest of the character.

## Activation

The Fall State is an automatic state. Its activation conditions is to cast a Ray from the chest to the ground using the Animal Height or Main Pivot (Chest). If no ground was found then the state will be activated.&#x20;

```
GET https://malbersanimations.gitbook.io/animal-controller/main-components/manimal-controller/states/fall.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
