Info ladder dismount

info_ladder_dismount is a point entity available in all Source games.

Entity description

It sets the dismount points for ladders in Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. When the player is on a ladder, near an info_ladder_dismount, and facing it, they can press their use key to dismount into the position of the info_ladder_dismount. This entity also allows the player to dismount a ladder's endpoints by simply walking in the direction of the info_ladder_dismount.

In code, it is represented by theCInfoLadderDismountclass, defined in thefunc_ladder.cppfile.

SetParent <string>

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