Angular climb

[phyzix5761]

Has anyone had any success with angular climbs in platformer games? How would one go about making that work?

What I mean by angular climb is climbing the side of a hill. The angle is something like this: /

Thanks guys!

Maybe it can be done with an actor that has a very straight side?

Do something like this:

player collision on sides of wall -> repeat -> script editor

Code: Select all

y -= 4;

Hey Sonic,

Thanks for your reply. I guess I didn't explain myself correctly. What I want to know is how to make the character slide off a steep hill with like a 90 degree angle. A platform that looks something like this: /\ and the character would slide off one of the sides. How do I do that? With a region for collision? A very straight animation for the mountain?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Out of curiosity, why are you using a region? Wouldn't it just be easier to use pixel by pixel?

The final image for the hill will be filled with leaves and rocks. Based on past experience I'm thinking that the pixels will block his ability to slide down.

EDIT: But what if I make a straight angle image and hide it behind the platform so he slides on that instead of on the stylized image? I think that should work.
