Hi there! I was wondering if there would be a simple way to make a third-person character, mantle up onto a ledge/object when walking into it rather than having a button move the player.
It would need to work for three different heights, short, somewhat short, and medium heights.
For reference, it would be similar to the PS2 game ‘Disaster Report’ Does anyone have any ideas to assist me?
Hey there @SilentWraithJosh! Welcome back to the community! I wouldn’t say most mantling systems are simple, but there are some that are simpler than a full blown climbing system. Most tutorials I could recommend require a secondary button press (usually a jump) to trigger them, but it would be relatively simple to modify them to trigger when a collision is made instead. I would recommend two videos, one goes over a system comprehensively and in real time, the other is a shorter video for a simple mantle system.
A long comprehensive video going over every single part of a mantling system:
A much shorter simple mantling video:
