Climbing Rope issues

Hello,

I have a Rope with Physics added and I'm trying to apply animations to my player but the way the rop Machanics is setup, its not working how I want it.

I added a Climbing animation to the player when pressing up or down, thats works fine. now I need to add an Idle animation as well, But to do so I need to apply it to each rope sprite. e.g.,(player is overlaping Rope1,Rope2,rope3,) (set player animation to Idle). That Works but it cancles out the Climb Animation because the Idle Animation is constantly playing due to the player overlaping the Rope. I tried using Els but i'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.

Hopfully that makes sence,

I provided a screenshot to explain what I'm talking about.

You need to use multiple instances of one Rope object, not 11 different objects. Or at least combine them into a family. Then you'll be able to reduce the amount of code by 90%.

You can set idle animation with a simple event:

Player Climbing=0 
Player platform is NOT moving : Player set "Idle" animation

I think I know what you mean but just in case are you able to send a screenshot of an example?

Or can you show me how to add my setup in a Familie? because I tried doing it and all the ropes flew off the screen, LOL!

You need to move Physics behavior from sprites to the family. Or just use one Rope sprite with multiple instances. Here is a similar demo:
