Thanks, that sounds good. My first plan was to teleport the player on the ledge, make him invisible and spawn an animated character climbing with his damages forwarded to the player, but your method sounds more sensible. However, what do you mean by "it more or less gets overwritten by the values needed for tthe climb" ?
And have you any suggestions for the over the shoulder and cover code ? On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 12:30 PM, Jan Hartung <jan.hart...@gmx.de> wrote: > Actually I have done that for Action Half-Life 2.
