Ladders and climbing.

Just thought of something.. I dont recall there being anything like ladders in T2, were there?
Everything was just some jetpack thing.
So.... ladders.. my take is that I do a check on the surface the player box contacts, and see if its a "ladder" texture. if it is, I impulse the player up a bit (so you push into the texture to climb the ladder).
Anyone else got idea's for this?

The best way to do this, imho, is to create a trigger area around the ladder. When the player is in the trigger you can make the w and s key move up and down instead of forward/back.

Did anybody come up with a working solution in the meantime? If not, I will try that...
By the way, what about elevators?

But maybe I'll try to make some real ladders... the bad thing is, I will need another animation for my characters to make it look "real" :-( Or I will end up with Counterstrike-like ladder climbing (which looks ridiculous...hehe ;-0 )

Yeah, right... he can just step on these little "boxes"... not exactly a ladder, but why not...But maybe I'll try to make some real ladders... the bad thing is, I will need another animation for my characters to make it look "real" :-( Or I will end up with Counterstrike-like ladder climbing (which looks ridiculous...hehe ;-0 )

Have a invisible box that when the player is inside it, gravity gets set to 0, and speed is lowered.
