Ladder Use Prevention

[Danskkat 2]

Is there a way to prevent units from using a ladder?

I've been throwing down invisible walls to block the unit from getting to it, but it doesn't seem to work for the AI who repeatedly climb up anyway.

I was debating making a marker that detects someone on the ladder and either removes unit from play or teleports it elsewhere but I'm worried about either A: a lot of removed enemies for no good reason or B: teleported unit may just decide to go path back over again.

Any advice or tricks?

Thanks!

Use the "AnimChanged" object event handler to detect the ladder anim, then execute the "ladderOff" action

 

<unit> addEventHandler [
	"AnimChanged",
	{
		params ['_unit','_anim'];
		if (_anim in [ladder animations]) then {
			_unit action ["ladderOff",<building object>];
		};
	}
];

Oh that's insanely clever.

I love it. Thank you!
