i know its in the HEK tutorial. I think you create a ladder by applying a texture the faces you want to be climbable and after the name you add a "^" without the quotes. :D

Thanks Tyson...but see im a newb at creating maps i created kirks "splinter" and now im makin my own and i figured out how to make a teleporter from scratch just with sapien but i need a step by step method for ladders. It is in the HEK tutorial but its spread out...

ok so from what i understand select the faces you want to be the ladder. Go into the material editor and create another multi-sub object. In your tutorial folder there is a bitmap called something like example_tutorial_ladder. Apply that texture to the selected faces.


oops forgot this when you name the bitmap (i.e. you name your sky +sky) name it the same as the bitmap name and at the end put a "^" without qoutes. Sry its a little confusing.

be sure to put the "%" mark along with the "^" mark, the percent thing says to draw on both sides of the plane, the ^ thing says it is climbable btw, y don't u just make a little buide for the ladder, a little indentation in the base or whatever, then make a plane in the hollow of the thing and name it the ladder
