  • Haha, I wasn't really paying attention on that one I guess. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Well, it took a bit of doing but I finally got everything working properly. It's essentially the same thing as before, just set up differently -- mostly straightforward stuff. I'm pretty tired myself, so I'll spare the giant explanation unless you want one tomorrow. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    EDIT: Forgot the link! See? I AM tired. <img src="smileys/smiley29.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • I found the same problem with ladder and this is very helpful

    Thanks guys

  • Everyone's examples are dead links. Anyone have updated ones?

  • Hey guys, I just realized we're all overcomplicating this. You don't need to spawn extra solid blocks, then remove them etc.

    I've made a terreria clone where you can place ladders, each of them being a 32*32 block. You can place them in a vertical or horizontal series to make long ladders. All you need to do is give the ladder sprite a jump-through behaviour. This will cause the player to walk on the top of the ladder, instead of falling back down once you've climbed to the top. Of course it also allows the player to climb upwards through it. Then all you need to do is add an event to use platform down jump-through behaviour when the player presses down (this allows descent from the top of the ladder). It also solves the jumping from a distance problem. If you fall on the ladder(s) from above you land on it as a solid. Come at it from the side or below, and you climb.

    Much simpler to implement this way, and none of the nasty bugs with the previous method.    <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • What kind of value is the "climbSpeed" ? Only see it being reffered to 2 times. Sorry I'm still learning and trying to implement this into my platformer..!

    the "climbSpeed" is used to see how fast you rise up when climbing (Self.Y - climbSpeed = we rise of climb speed), and the "*dt" thingy is for frame-rate independancy
