PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated()
{

  this.ladderImg = <ladderIMG>; // Replace <ladderIMG> with the ladder image you want to use surrounded by quotes
  this.ladderIdle = <ladderANIidle>; // Replace <ladderANIidle> with the idle ladder gani you want to use, surrounded by quotes
  this.ladderWalk = <ladderANIwalk>; // Replace <ladderANIwalk> with the walk/moving ladder gani you want to use, surrounded by quotes

  setImg( this.ladderImg); // Sets the ladder image
  setshape( 1, getimgwidth( this.ladderImg), getimgheight( this.ladderImg)); // This sets the shape of the ladder so the client can detect it better in my opinion

  onTimeout(); // This will start the onTimeout Loop

}

function onTimeout()
{

  if ( player.x + 1.5 in | this.x, this.x + (  getimgwidth( this.ladderImg) / 16)| &&
       player.y + 2.0 in | this.y, this.y + ( getimgheight( this.ladderImg) / 16)|) // Checks to see if the player is on the ladder
  {
 
    player.onLadder = true; // We'll set this flag so we can know later on that the player is on the ladder
    setani( this.ladderIdle, NULL); // Sets the players gani to the idle ladder gani
    //You could also do player.dir = 0; and not use special ganis altogether, just us 'idle' and 'walk' (or 'walkslow')

  }

  else
    player.onLadder = false; // This tells the script later on that the player is NOT on the ladder

  if ( player.onLadder) // You don't have to do '== true' cause the if statement already checks if it's true or false
  {

    disableDefMovement(); // Disables the defualt Movement system so we can control the player's movement

    for ( temp.k = 0; temp.k < 4; temp.k += 2)  // Cycles though the up and down arrow keycodes ( 0 - up, 2 - Down)
    {

      if ( keydown( temp.k)) //If player pushes an arrow key this will catch it
      {

        setani( this.ladderWalk, NULL): // Sets the players gani to the walking/moving ladder gani 
        player.y += vecy( temp.k) * 0.35; // Moves the players Y coor only, 0.35 is the speed, normal speed is 0.5 or 8 pixels every 0.05 seconds
        // Vecy will return -1, 0, or 1. If temp.k is 0 then it will give -1, if temp.k is 1 or 3 it will give 0, If it's 2 then it will return 1

      }
    }
  }

  else // This will be called when player.onLadder is false
    enableDefMovement(); // Enables the default movement system, so the player can move normally again

  setTimer( 0.05); // Will call onTimeout in 0.05 seconds

}

Ladders would be a lot easier if setshape2 allowed you to overwrite blocking tiles with nonblocking.

Yep, but we gotta make do with what we got.

I would personally attach the player to the ladder, slow his/her movement speed while attached and then work from there.

thx MrOmega. it worked except one little thing: when i climb it uses the idle. but when i stop climbing on ladder its fine (so i didnt mix up)

[MrOmega]

Are this.ladderIdle and this.ladderWalk different ganis?

[callimuc]

yes they are
