thanks to this. Now I can add ladder on my platform game.

I can’t find the AS3 code where the “ladder bug” was fixed. I thought that maybe all I would have to do is make the:

if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
get_edges();
if (over == “ladder”) {
jumping = false;
falling = false;
climbing = true;
climbdir = 1;
}
}

Turn into:

if (press_down)
{
get_edges();
if ((over == “ladder”) || (top_right == 6 || bottom_right == 6 || top_left == 6 || bottom_left == 6))
{
jumping = false;
falling = false;
climbing = true;
climbdir = 1;
}
}
this does not work either. :( I really want to use this tile based idea but being able to make different tile images for the ladder is very important for what I am making. Thanks for responding before!

I am trying to add a second type of ladder. This ladder is the exact same thing but the image is of a different color of ladder. I simply made it on frame 8 of the block movie clip and added the case 8 code that is the exact same as the case 7 code in the as file. It does not work. With trace statements all the code is running right but the character does not move up or down when it hits the new ladder block any ideas?

My spike code:

where you add tile add this:

case 1 :
over = “ground”;
x_pos = 40
y_pos = 40
break;

It’s exaple, change x and y of player by detecting em using variables. That’s how I also do falling:

if(y_pos >140 ){
y_pos = 40
x_pos = 40
}

It’s easy.

One of the best tutorials here! I have looked ~75% of your flash tutorials and I like the most of ‘em’. I’m making a little game for this. I made now exit and falling function (when you fall out from level). And I know i can make enemies and something like pipes so you only hit them from left and right so you can go downwards trough them. But yea, ladders have some bugs.

maybe, when going up ladders, it would be a good idea that you could only stay suspended on a ladder for a certain amount of time, or you fall down…?
Good tutorial :)
