Hello everyone,
I am trying to make a climbing system for my FPS game for the edges, like we can see in DOOM or DOOM ETERNAL.
I am at the beginning and yet, I have an issue that I really don’t understand.
I have made a system with box tracing to detect the wall location, the wall normal, and the wall height.
To start my Climbing, I need my character to hang a little bit on the edge. The idea of this step is to force the location and the rotation of the player to be on a precise position in relation to the wall.
This is supposed to allow me to start the animation without seeing the player hanging in the void.
To make that happen I use the “Move Component to” node that I trigger when the condition of the condition allow the player to start climbing. But it don’t work for the rotation, at first I believed that was just a camera issue, but when I display the capsule component in game, I can see the rotation is not applied.
Here is the Node :
Right now I am just working only on the rotation so I don’t touch its location.
Inside the “calculate climbing position”, the calculation of the rotator is pretty simple :
And if you want to see how I get the wall normal here is the detection trace :
I already checked if the detection was correct and it is, but when I try to hang on an edge my character just stop his movement and nothing happen.
It’s looking like that :
