func_ladderendpoint

func_ladderendpoint is a point entity available in all Source games.

Entity description

It is used to specify the endpoints of a ladder. This entity is functional, but has been replaced by the easier-to-use func_useableladder entity. Left in only for backwards-compatibility!

To be valid, a full-sized player hull traced between the start and end points must not be obstructed at level activation time. The angle determines in which direction the player leaves the ladder if the player presses the +jump button.

Note:This entity is non-functional in Counter-Strike: Source. In CS:S, use func_ladder instead.

In code it is represented by class CFuncLadderEndPoint, defined in func_ladder_endpoint.cpp.

Keyvalues

Other (target) <targetname>

A ladder goes between any two func_ladderendpoints pointing at each other.

Name (targetname) <string>[ Edit ]

The name that other entities refer to this entity by, via Inputs/Outputs or other keyvalues (e.g. parentname or target).
Also displayed in Hammer's 2D views and Entity Report.

Parentname:

Parent (parentname) <targetname>

Specifies a movement parent. An entity will maintain its initial offset from its parent. An attachment point can be added to the end of the name, separated by a comma.

Pitch Yaw Roll (Y Z X) (angles) <QAngle>

This entity's orientation in the world. Pitch is rotation around the Y axis, yaw is the rotation around the Z axis, roll is the rotation around the X axis.

Inputs

Parentname:

SetParent <stringRedirectInput/string>

Move with this entity. See Entity Hierarchy (parenting).

SetParentAttachment <stringRedirectInput/string>

Change this entity to attach to a specific attachment point on its parent. The entity will teleport so that the position of its root bone matches that of the attachment. Entities must be parented before being sent this input.

SetParentAttachmentMaintainOffset <stringRedirectInput/string>

As above, but without teleporting. The entity retains its position relative to the attachment at the time of the input being received.

ClearParent

Removes this entity from the the movement hierarchy, leaving it free to move independently.
