💡 Mantle and Climb Ledge feature?

I love how you already have implimented a stair motion. Nice!

I'm not sure if you might be interested to check out a climbing algorythm - ie checking to see there is a open ledge space, and headroom above it.

A month ago this fellow started producing the running and grabbing edge type movement.

Certainly not a high priority or immediate need, but I think having some optional basic climbing would be great for a 3d template 😊

Yeeeeah... while these are super cool, they are all for third person.
I haven't actively looked into it but I imagine the approach for doing this in first person will be quite different.
Even if you get the detection working, you'd probably have to do a lot of "cheating" with adjusting the camera and collisions as needed, not even starting with animations. And then of course handling how/when ledge grab works when the player has a wieldable equipped, etc.

I think a basic ledge grab like in the newer Deus Ex or Doom games is possible, but not something I'm personally looking to implement for the moment.

Agreed. 'Discussions' is a nice place to let things stew, collect good and bad youtube references, and prioritize your valuble time

I'll just throw out that some Far Cry games like New Dawn support ledge climbing from first person. It serves as an example for how to handle some of the aforementioned issues
