for those with ladder problems in hl2dm

i was reading some tuts and they said something along the lines of "if the func_usableladder is inside any brush or entity, the ladder may not work". the truth is, however, the entity cannot even TOUCH anything AT ALL . if it does, the ladder and whatever its touchin will interfere with eachother and your camera will do a little shaky thing when you are trying to use the ladder....showing that it is struggling to get you up or down that ladder. just take note that the func_usableladder cannot touch anything if you want it to work.

Well, since "brush or entity" covers every type of object you're able to place, I think the tutorial got it right

the thing that messed me up was their emphasis on "being inside of" and not "touching whatsoever". my entity was touching a brush, but wasnt necessarily inside it. if ida know that would cause me troubles, i wouldnt have made the ladder entity even touch a damn thing.

Ah, I misunderstood.

I found that out while working with my first ladder. :O

... It is fairly obvious.

If it was INSIDE of a brush it wouldn't be usable anyway, use your brain kthx.

thats what im saying. the tutorial said "INSIDE" and not "TOUCHING". it isnt so obvious as i see people having ladder problems all the damn time.
