Ledge Climbing In Godot 4 - Shimmy Turn and Ladder

Took me a while to make this mechanic right. Even though some bug still persist, overall i am quite happy with the result. Leave a comment on what your thought on this mechanic.
I'll upload this project on my patreon page later. Feel free to join now at

im making ME inspired parkour game rn, and your videos are so inspiring!

[@Brokencircuitboard]

Can't wait to see your project come to life! All the best for your development.

exciting!

Looking good for no IK!

What ik ?

amazing work keep it up

Hi. Never in my description i said the project is production ready nor the code is up to pro level. It clearly just a prototype of simple game mechanic. If you use the asset expecting to a bug free code, you are clearly mistaken. As for naming, you do realise you can just rename it right? I admit, programming is not my strong suit(i mention it multiple time in the comment). I clearly explain the reason of my refusal for refund in the dm. p/s: no need to spam comment.

@@chancemcdonald4128 dude sub for 5 min, grab all the asset and requeat refund, easy money. It doesnt take genius to figure out what going on. And seriously, 5k player script? i wish i could do even half of that 😅

Wow good looking animation in a demonstration! That doesnt happen very often

[@Brokencircuitboard]

Thanks!

Thanks

[@sandman76_]

looks cool

[@catafest]

good work, godot have a good way to deal with 3d models ... the hard work will be the animations and models in game process .

[@semaph0re]

very cool

no IK, impressive

I'm in a software engineering course right now and our project is to make an extensible third person template. Doing basic movement, but being able to add things like ledge grabbing as modules. First module is a BOTW paraglider esque thing. Progress is slow, the other students are in over their head and I'm treading water 😂 Pitch was for it to be an open source and robust game template. Probably won't get there by the end of the semester. But hopefully it will keep going.

[@Brokencircuitboard]

Wish you the best with your project. I'm sure by now you already figure out the basic third person template of your own. For paraglider module, it just a matter of adjusting the gravity value and vertical velocity to make it 'floaty' ..simple stuff.

[@Dankakes]

Id be interested to see the raycast setup. I imagine there's one at head hight detecting the ledge and one telling how much distance there is for if they can climb up?

[@Brokencircuitboard]

Correct! But for more complex ledge such as 0:53 more raycast are needed to detect obstacles above the ledge. If i remember correctly, i use around 4-5 raycast just for finding ledge in this setup.

[@vast634]

Do you target a level architecture with 90 degree angles? It works well with those regular boxes, but how is it working with more randomly formed colliders?

[@Brokencircuitboard]

Since i 'glue' the player into surface normal of an object, the player not restricted by 90 degree corner. I only use 'box' corner since it look good with animation. I can just use shimmy animation on corner and it still turn regardless any degree or corner(to certain point) 😄

[@tayorain6554]

how much do you charge for tutorial ?

[@michaeljburt]

Do you have to pre-bake the ledge data or is it all dynamic?

[@Brokencircuitboard]

It's all dynamic. As long as it meet a condition to be called ledge, player will grab it.

[@XanaGear]

I'm trying to get a basic ledge grab mechanic working in my platformer and am having a real time with it. How are you setting the location of the player once the raycasts find the ledge?

[@Brokencircuitboard]

I just teleport the player to ledge point.

[@XanaGear]

@@Brokencircuitboard do you use set_position for this?

[@Brokencircuitboard]

@@XanaGear my code go like this. self.global_transform.origin = ledge_point + offset

[@XanaGear]

@@Brokencircuitboard thanks, this helps immensely!

[@Brokencircuitboard]

@@XanaGear happy to help 😉

[@Malik23271]

Please do turn in place style movement 😢

[@Brokencircuitboard]

that's something i always wanted to do in godot 😉

I could've never done this

Anyone can do this given time and effort.. don't give up.
