walk up/on walls?

Hello all, Is it possible to enable a player entity to walk up walls and/or on the roof of a room? I am working on a small HL2 mod and I want to enable this as a feature. Any help/guidance/advice would be highly appreciated.

That's possible - in fact, I've heard about a mod that already implemented this - but it could take a bit of work. Of course, that depends on what exactly you want.

What I once did in HL was placing ladders on walls and ceilings, which worked quite well. So if you get the CSS brush-based ladder-style working with HL2, you could handle it like that. Personally, I think that's the easiest and fastest approach.

Thanks Captian P, I want to enable the player to walk up any walls they wish and possibly the ceiling also. I was hoping for a nice and quick little trick to enable this.

The "Ballmen" mod implements that idea as their main gimmick. You could build a map based on that mod I suppose.

Thanks heaps Riven for that source. I am looking at it right now..drool

"Enable" the feature? That's no feature, that's something you had to program from scratch yourself. Ballmen looks great though, it seems they got it to work nicely.

Why snark works.

Well yes reaper47 but I count it I guess as a gameplay feature. As said earlier I was hoping for a nice little building trick to get around having to go hardcore and program.
