Hi
I want to combine two ladders. There is a long height to climb (Two ladders of the longest type).
But while climbing I stuck on the position, where both ladders contact each other. I tried a lot of different distances,
but nothing works. I don't want a workaround like a intermediate platform.
Is there a trick or rule of thumb ?

Create a long ladder in front of the others and adjust its dimensions as needed. Then render it invisible.

Two Ideas
1. Create your own longer ladder model.
2. Place your ladders on opposite sides of the shaft such that the player must jump from one to the other. That has an advantage in making the game play more interesting.

Basically this.
But the two objects are enough have 1 ladder with the whole dimensions and the other just as no physics dummy obj.

If you want both ladders to look the same as when they are created in dromed, make two ladders with no physics and make them non-clinical, and then make one more ladder that covers the entire height but make it unrendered. This way the player can still climb both sides of the ladder and roll from one side to the other, and you won't have part of a ladder extending down or up into other terrain.

This.
You can also create decorative objects and change the models to ladder so that the player can't bump into them. Then just have a long invisible ladder over the top of them.

Close, but that creates an unnecessary object. Just delete physics from all but one ladder, then enlarge the physics box of the one remaining to cover all of them.
The same principle applies when stringing together a lot of individual railing objects.

Thank you all, problem is solved.
I created a ladder with the whole length in front of the "dummy" ladders, added "rendertype/not rendered" and it works as wanted. :thumb:

SIGH.
