graphicgeek Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hey guys.. New to the game dev world but looking at a few frameworks. My main idea needs the ability to climb things like ladders or to jump/grab a rope. I haven't seen any examples of this but wondering if it's possible or if anyone knows where i can find a tutorial for this. Thanks for any help you can offer! -Freddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram64 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 For ladders you will basically need a sensor and when the player touches it the standard physics do not apply (e.g. no gravity). Take a look at these articles for ladders:http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/game-programming/the-guide-to-implementing-2d-platformers-r2936http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2011/12/20/how-to-make-a-2d-platform-game-part-3-ladders-and-ai/ For ropes it's the same principle. You will need a sensor against which to check collision in order to modify the player's state and ignore the standard physics. miguelfeliciano 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
