Horizontal ladder

[greg147]

Hi all,

I came up with this idea for a mission recently, and it involves you passing from one petrovice-style rooftop to another, so you can clear out the building you've just moved onto, and use abseiling techniques to perform a roof clearing etc (If you've read Chris Ryan's 'The kremlin device', i'm basing it on that)

Anyway, I need a ladder to reach across the rooftops.
I could use pallets, but it looks messy.
The ladder doesn't have to be get-in-able, just a long, thin object that you can walk on, with ladder textures simular/the same as the BIS ladder ones.

Even just a horizontal version of the BIS ladder would be ideal.  ;D

So, can anyone spare the time to make this? I'm not sure about this, but it should be pretty easy to turn a ladder a few degrees round right? (don't quote me on that)  

Thanks

Isn't there a training object that if sunk into the building the right way, will look like a wooden plank? Training 3?

[greg147]

Thats a good idea.  

Unfortunatly, I'm thinking more of a ladder 8m across maybe. That kinda distance. The training one is about 1-2m. However, I will use loads of them together if I have to  :-\

Well, this should indeed not be difficult to make such a
thingy'

Unfortunately i'm gonna have to wait at least 1 week from
now, until i can start working on anything  :-\

If you're then still in need of summit like that i'll give it a go.

Some suggestions here:

a)
wooden planks with roadway lod - this will make it able to
walk on them - but there might be a problem for ai as for
sure they will tend to fall down from there.

But as i reckon' from your basic idea - it's for players anywayz
and not for ai.

b)
some objects (might be really a horizontal ladder or some rain
pipes or whatever), offering the feature to: climb laddr up/down

could maybe look stupid if presented to other players, which
don't just be happy for the feature because of unrealistic
climb up/down for horizontal movement  

c)
some metal architecture in like you can see on oil-rigs or fabrics including ceilling on left/righ - to walk over without possibility
of falling down

All your base are belong to us

As i was just trying it out again lately after i found the CD somewhere
deep in my computer room:

This is some cheat for EmpireEarth - i think it gives 100000 of all resources  ;D

~S~ CD

yup, this should be easy. Just a matter of finding a model with a ladder on it ;D

or make my own

[greg147]

Thanks for the suggestions Chris Death.
If it did come to using pallets or the training item, I might make a trigger in the other roof top, that when you enter it, theres a blck out scene and the other soliders are setposed onto the new roof.  

@Oyman
That would be great if you could make one.  ;D

[oyman]

I did make one ill put up a screen later, when home

here it is, im kinda unhappy with the texture on it, but it looks good still

That does look good! You planning on releasing it?

[greg147]

That does look perfect  ;D

[DBR_ONIX]

Yeh, looks nice enough, but how hard is it to run over? Or more inportantly, fall of

[oyman]

ya, I intend to release it

[greg147]

Thank you Oyman!  ;D

Thats perfect. Now I can continue with my SAS mission  ;D
