func_ladder - Brush Entity

This creates an invisible brush which, when touched by the player, allows them to climb up, down, or sideways, along its surface.

Attributes

• Name (targetname) - Property used to identify entities.

Flags

• None

Notes

• The simplest way to create a ladder is to construct the visible bit first, with whatever texture you want, then copy the brush, drag it forward, and turn it into a func_ladder.
• This entity can also simulate ropes (although the sound isn't quite right). If mapping for Opposing Force, consider using env_rope instead.
• Ladders can also be created by changing a brush entity's Contents (skin) key value to "-16". Turning SmartEdit off and adding this key to a func_door for example allows for creation of a moving ladder (the ladder will behave strangely in it's open position, so it's best to keep it's open position somewhere the player can't reach).
• When a CLIPHULL# tool texture is used, the ladder behaves strangely and adds a speed boost when climbing.
