EndOfTheEarth Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I recall from development that Kerbals on EVA would be able to shift from one ladder to another directly next to it--a horizontal motion rather than climbing up-down the ladder. Thus far, I haven\'t been able to figure out what I need to do to allow my kerbal to do this yet, and have had to rotate my capsule around to avoid having a ladder intersect a connected piece.Am I missing something, or has the feature just not been added in yet?

TheDarkOne Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 If you use QEWASD to rotate the ladders, kerbals can climb on perpendicular ones if you tell them to turn in the direction it is in with the arrow keys during EVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah, I usually attach a sideways ladder where I want Kerbals to be able to switch ladders. Thats logical, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndOfTheEarth Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I neglected to mention--I\'m worried about this for landing operations; while the rotational thing works during a zero-g EVA, it doesn\'t seem to work after landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you then press the space bar, he will jump off the ladder in that direction. You then need to press f for him to grab on to another ladder before he drifts too far off.

Awaras Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Also, if you have multiple ladders crossing with each other, I find that the kerbals will often (but not always, can\'t figure out why...) be able to switch from one to the other if you stop at the crossing and then hold left or right (A or D) for a few seconds.

Stogas Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Yes, I have noticed that too, i just didn\'t know about the jumping. Also, if you hold shift and press space without holding any of the WASD keys, you will jump backwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaras Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Heh, did not notice that, thanks.All in all, even tho there are some small kinks to be ironed out, I am extremely impressed - SQUAD (And more specifically Harvester, I guess) have put together in just a few months a movement system that is more flexible and natural than the systems I have seen in many high budget games. Great job, the most fun update in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
