📋 About This Mod

///////////////

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

This was originally something I was requested to make for the Frontier, and I always intended for it to be used as a resource following its release.

It works as you would expect, activate the ladder to start climbing it, you can use your Forward/Backward or Jump/Crouch controls to climb up/down. Forward/Backwards moves you either up or down depending on what angle you are looking at, so looking down and pressing forward will have you go down.

For a quick guide to setting up a basic ladder:

  • []Attach the script to any activatable model that you wish to use as a ladder, or use activate parents.[/]

    []Link the ladder to an XMarkerHeading on the ground, this will determine your starting position while climbing, as well as how low you can climb down.[/]

    []Link the bottom XMarkerHeading to one at the top, this one will serve as the max height you can climb.

    []Link the top XMarkerHeading to a third one, this one will act as a dismount point whenever you get within 6ft of the top.[/]

    [](Optional) On the ladder's reference, change the "Interaction String Override" on the Activate Parents tab to something more fitting, like "Climb Ladder".[/]

    [](Optional) Alter the script if the sound or climbing speed does not fit the ladder type you chose. [/]

    And for a multipoint ladder, it's mostly the same with an added point in the middle.

    []Attach the script to any activatable model that you wish to use as a ladder, or use activate parents.[/]

    []Link the ladder to an XMarkerHeading on the ground, this will determine your starting position while climbing, as well as how low you can climb down.[/]

    []Link the bottom XMarkerHeading to a middle marker, you will move towards/away from this marker when climbing up if you are below/above it.

    []Link the middle  XMarkerHeading to one at the top, this one will serve as the max height you can climb.[/]

    []Link the top XMarkerHeading to a fourth one, this one will act as a dismount point whenever you get within 6ft of the top.[/]

    [](Optional) On the ladder's reference, change the "Interaction String Override" on the Activate Parents tab to something more fitting, like "Climb Ladder".[/]

    [](Optional) Alter the script if the sound or climbing speed does not fit the ladder type you chose.[/]

    Since this is intended to be a modder's resource, the .esp includes a single ladder placed in Novac as an exam
