{{this is a|brush entity|internal=1|name=func_ladder}}

When [[VBSP]] compiles the map, it converts {{code|func_ladder}} brushes into regular world brushes with [[Contents flags|ladder contents]], and an {{ent|info_ladder}} entity is created with KVs indicating the bounding box of the ladder.

In {{l4d|2}} and newer, the geometry is kept as a brush entity, and converted to a {{ent|func_simpleladder}} instead.

{{Note|This entity doesn't function in {{hl2ep1|2}} and newer, even if to added to base.fgd. Use {{Ent|Func_useableladder}} instead.<br>Func_ladder is still used in {{l4dseries|2}}, {{css|2}}, {{dods|2}}, {{Gmod|2}}, {{vtmb|2}}, and {{ship|2}}.}}
{{Important|{{ent|func_simpleladder}} does not exist in {{csgobranch|1}} and {{strata|1}}, and as such, if a func_ladder is used, the brush will be deleted on spawn. Consult [[Creating Ladders (CSGO)]] for help.}}
{{warning| Func_ladder brushes are still world brushes, and will create [[visleaves]] unless using materials with {{cmd|%CompileDetail}} or {{cmd|%CompileClip}}. {{tip|{{cmd|%CompileDetail}} parameter can safely be added to {{file|tools/toolsinvisbleladder|vmt}} without any negative consequences (the modified VMT does not need to be shared with the compiled map).<br>Alternatively, create a {{file|tools/toolsladder|vmt}} with {{cmd|%CompileClip}} instead of {{cmd|%CompileNoDraw}}+{{cmd|%CompilePassBullets}} (works in {{dods}}, but not {{css}}).}}}}

== Entity description ==
A ladder. Players will be able to freely move along this brush, as if it was a ladder. If you are using a model prop for the visual representation of the ladder in the map, apply the '''toolsinvisibleladder''' material to the {{Ent|func_ladder}} brush. 

This entity has no keyvalues, flags, inputs, or outputs.

{{Note|This entity is prone to exploitation, as a player can travel up the ladder with two keys at once to travel faster up, and at the end of the ladder they will be flung upwards to possibly reach high areas.}}
