Sidescroll Ladder Script

[Sillycat2]

Hey guys, this is my first post here. I recognize a lot of people.

Anyway, I need a script made for sidescroll ladders.
I need either a combo type or a flag that, when Link stands on it, he won't fall with "Sideview Gravity" checked. Kind of like the ladders in Link's Awakening.

I made the same request at PZC but I heard that there are some expert scripters here.
Can anyone make the script?

Hmm... Sounds doable. Gimme a few minutes.

Ok, done. It's very basic, but very easy to use. Just assign the script to any old FFC, and you're done.

It uses flag #98 (the first of the flags set aside just for scripts), but you can change that by passing the flag number in to D0.

As a bonus, I was going to throw in an option of forcing Link to face up while on a ladder (a la Gameboy Zeldas), but Link is not very flexible, and I ended up having to re-invent his movement and collision detection, and it was buggy anyway. So, I just left it at that.

Wait, so all we have to do is attack the script to any FFC in the screen. Then how does it know what combos are the ladder combos?

You can make him face upwards via Link Tile Modifiers.

Finally. Real ladders. And combined with Joe's script, we have treu sideview ladders. Is there anything scripting can't do?

Beautiful. The whole ZC world should know about this script.

Yes, but there's always a workaround.

Hey, pkmnfrk:

I have been trying out the script you made for one of my quests. It's wonderful... :) but can you make an improvement?

I found a flaw. Using the script while Link has Z3 (diagonal) movement, when he walks at the bottom of the ladder in a gravity screen and it is a solid floor with no flag, he walks in one solid tile down.

You can reply here, but I liked to be notified too because I don't come here often, so send in a PM to me also.
