Ladder?

Cutmanmike · Post by **Cutmanmike** » Sun May 30, 2004 11:56 am

What would be the best way to make a ladder? I've seen one on hellspawn which works pretty well, but I can't be bothered to work out how it's done.

Any tutorials will be appreciated *hint hint*

I know of a way that when you use a line that is set to thrust thingZ, or something like that. I forget exactly how it was done.

You mean like this? Surely there's a better way though

(Ignore the first script, I force wadauthor to put that on every new map)

I'm pretty much a noob but this is what I've always done.

For a four step ladder I put four sectors like stairs and make them only 1 wide each so they look kind of like they are ontop of each other and if you walk up to it, you walk up it cause the sectors are so close.

That way is too old, and you can see the stairs from the sides

Not if you hide them with Transfer_Heights.

i think LWM turnd on PROP_FLY when you got on the hellspawn ladders. i think that because of the fly-style stillbob (and i know my fly mode

)

The best ways to do it are:

1) The Z thrust which activates on push, meaning the player will climb as long as they push forward.

2) Close together invisible stairs.

I made a simple ladder using a script with ThingThrustZ then ThingThrust.

Very clever indeed

Please explain why, given your declared laziness, just why the hell we should waste our time trying to help you?

Actually I did look, and it appears that if the ladder didn't have a ceiling above it, you would be able to float above the ladder, which I don't want

if(GetActorZ(PLAYERTID) > 0.0 && GetActorZ(PLAYERTID) < 512.0)
{ SetPlayerProperty(0, 1, PROP_FLY); }
else{ SetPlayerProperty(0, 0, PROP_FLY); }

Might not be the right syntax. Remember to put .0 after any coordinates you use or it doesnt work.
