Ladders help please.

[Worf]

Hi.

I am having real problems trying to get the ladders routine to work. There is one ladder which is animated as it extends down so that the player can leave the ship and the rest are backdrops.

I have tried different examples but not having any luck and would be greatful for any help here. Once this is sorted out i can get on with the other levels.

I am using the Platform Movement Object at the movement and jumping.

Many thanks for any help.

Hi nivram.

The problem i am having is that i can't get them working, i mean get the player to go up or down the ladders.

Thank you for your help.

I assume it is a side scroller, so could you not put a long detector on the ladder and if the user presses the up arrow key and the character is overlapping ladder detector, set the character to go up the ladder. That would be set Y to character Y -1?. When the down arrow key is pressed set the character position to Y +1?
