Phaser platform ladder aka lode runner

[metalslug87]

hello,

I am searching for effective way of ladder climb for player like in old Loder Runner game for NES :).

I already have only simple script in Update function, if the player overlaps 2 hidden objects on both sides of the ladder he gains the ability to climb. In fact it's hard to accurate get the player at the center point of ladder to climb it. Any Ideas ?

if (playerTouchLeftLadder && playerTouchRightLadder) {
        console.log('overlaps ladder');

        if (cursors.up.isDown) {
            player.body.velocity.y = -75;
            playerGravity = 0;
            player.frame = 9;
            onLadder = true;
        }else if (cursors.down.isDown) {
            player.body.velocity.y = 75;
            playerGravity = 0;
            player.frame = 9;
            onLadder = true;
        }else if (playerJumpState == false){
            player.body.velocity.y = 0;            
        }

    }else{
        playerGravity = 500; 
        onLadder = false;    
    };

My first Phaser game was Lode Runner Retro (flash version)

I assume you're using tiles.
So you just check if you're on a ladder tile. No need for hidden objects, or to be centered.

thanks :), do you know how to detect an event when whole player body intersects with ladder tile ? Not only part of it ?
