Description:

Not production ready.

It's more like the code snippet for everybody who wants to do a real convenient "Creator".

Provides examples:

- How to change team of the already existed ladder to allow survivor to climb on infected ladder.
- How to create a new ladder in the arbitrary location
- No visual model provided.

Use case below done for 2 L4D1 maps.

PPS.

Just when I finished description, I noticed somebody done such Creator, and I already have a fork of it.

Enjoy (some functionality are added):

I didn't test anything? How do I create a ladder that I can climb?

Do
!edit

Use crosshair and point to existing ladder, left click, move with arrows if it is there where you want it, do
!info

Copy output to stripper. Adjust height there if needed

!edit to get out of edit mode

Change team that can use the ladder with

!Team or simply in the stripper file.


Basically you clone existing ladders and save the offset from original ladders then stripper will show the same ladder at new location. The original will still be at old location

!info

Selected ladder entity 661, *63 at (5128.00,668.00,257.50). origin: (-1.00,-116.00,0.00). normal: (1.00,0.00,0.00). Team: 0

stripper

{
    "model" "*63"
    "normal.z" "0.00"
    "normal.y" "0.00"
    "normal.x" "0.00"
    "team" "2"
    "classname" "func_simpleladder"
    "origin" "0.00 0.00 0.00"
    "angles" "5128.00,668.00,257.50"
}

Adding flames, lights, and solids all work, except for the ladder.

stripper

{
    "model" "*63"
    "normal.z" "0.00"
    "normal.y" "0.00"
    "normal.x" "0.00"
    "team" "2"
    "classname" "func_simpleladder"
    "origin" "0.00 0.00 0.00"
    "angles" "5128.00,668.00,257.50"
}

You used angles and not origin that's wrong.

You have to move the cloned ladder around with the arrow keys or wasd then do the. !info on the new ladder.

Ladder origin is relative from the origin of the original ladder.

Will mostly look like this.

"origin" "-100 0 0"

Try to clone next to where you need it.

Keep in mind that you need to create a custom nav with new ladder once you are done adding it. Or bots won't use them.

If you only want to change the team of a ladder do a modify replace in stripper.

You can use the model as value to find (if you haven't cloned it already or you will change the cloned ladders too) better to use stripper dump and then find the Hammerid.

If you don't have stripper extesion, please go install

To add(clone) new ladder on the map, you can use

1. Go to infected team, type !edit to enter edit mode
2. type in console to make you search existing ladder quickly.

PHP Code:

r_drawbrushmodels 2 


3. Aim an existing ladder, type !select (Or use M1), type !clone to clone a new ladder, now you can use
- WSAD to move the ladder
- E to raise the ladder
- R to lower the ladder
- Shift to rotate the ladder (Some ladders may disapear if have angle rotated)

4. When done, aim the ladder and type !info, the func_simpleladder entity all information print in your console,
for example it should be like this

PHP Code:

add:
{
    "classname" "func_simpleladder"
    "origin" "-16.13 -783.68 -20.80"
    "angles" "0.00 0.00 0.00"
    "model" "*64"        
    "normal.x" "0.98"
    "normal.y" "0.14"
    "normal.z" "0.00"
    "team" "2"
} 


5. Copy and past to your stripper cfg.

You can change "team" Keyvalues to decide which team can climb

PHP Code:

team <integer>
Team that can climb this ladder.
0 : Any team
1 : Survivors
2 : Infected
