Cant climb ladder

Im having problems with 2 ladders in my map in that i cannot climb them at all, i have created ladders before with no probs, i have also moved the ladders (that dont work) to different parts of the map and been able to climb them.

At first i though that maybe there wasnt enough room as they are climbing out of tunnel so i created a larger area for them, but still have the same problem. I have the angles set to 180 and am using the ladder brush. I even followed the tutorial again 1 step at a time but still had no joy with this.

Plz help as this has been going on for a few days now and is starting to p*ss me off.

Thx

try to move them temporarily to a free area without walls or ceilings around to see whether they work there...

I have done, and they work, but there is loads of room for thrm to work, which is why i am confused as to why they dont.

Ive also found out now that i can jump omto the ladder from above and climb down, so it looks like the problem i have is getting onto the ladder, but ive tried a couple of different approach angles and still havnt managed it.

The tutorial says you need 180 angle to climb. Didn't work for me. So I've changed to 90 angle (makes more sense...) and...voila'! All my ladders are working fine.

Try change your angle to 90.

Krane, the angle depends on what direction the player has to face to use the ladder! You can't just use 90 for every ladder! Eeek! :wink:

In XY view the angles are:

360 (or 0, it's the same thing) = face 'right'

90 = face 'up'

180 = face 'left'

270 = face 'down'

I think :oops:
