SiegeLadder

v1.4.8

The ladder attackers lift onto a wall and defenders push back with a fork. The description is Ladder on the lift and push points, and Fork on the ammo point. The actions are Lift, Push, and Pick Up. Scenes place a SiegeLadderSpawner, which spawns this prefab.

Find placed ones in the Scene panel with s:SiegeLadder. See Filter.

Where you put it

Use the spawner in a siege scene. The weapon prefabs are in Native\Prefabs\props_siege_ladders.xml and are hidden in the prefab browser (hide_in_prefab_editors). Heights are siege_ladder_6m, siege_ladder_7m, siege_ladder_8m, siege_ladder_11m, and siege_ladder_14m, plus an _mp copy of each.

The body needs children for the tags below: ladderDown, ladderUp, ladder_body, ladder_collision_body, and initialwaitposition. Attacker points are tagged attacker. Defender points are tagged defender. Fork stands use right, left, and front.

What you set

siege_ladder_6m stores this order. The 8m, 11m, and 14m prefabs swap the animation prefix. siege_ladder_7m keeps the 6m clips.

Panel field	What to do with it
AttackerTag	Attacker stand tag. Prefab: `attacker`.
DefenderTag	Defender stand tag. Prefab: `defender`.

_idleAnimationIndex	Cached clip index. Prefab stores `-1`.
RaiseAnimation	Raise clip. Same height prefix, `_rise`. `7m` uses `siege_ladder_6m_rise`.
RaiseAnimationWithoutRootBone	Raise clip without the root bone. Suffix `_rise_wo_rootbone`.
_raiseAnimationWithoutRootBoneIndex	Cached clip index. Prefab stores `-1`.
PushBackAnimation	Push-back clip. Suffix `_push_back`.
_pushBackAnimationIndex	Cached clip index. Prefab stores `-1`.
PushBackAnimationWithoutRootBone	Push-back without the root bone. Suffix `_push_back_wo_rootbone`.
_pushBackAnimationWithoutRootBoneIndex	Cached clip index. Prefab stores `-1`.
TrembleWallHeavyAnimation	Heavy stop against the wall. Suffix `_stop_wall_heavy`.
TrembleWallLightAnimation	Light stop against the wall. Suffix `_stop_wall_light`.

LadderPushTreshold	Push needed to move the ladder. Code default `170`. Prefab stores `175`.
LadderPushTresholdForOneAgent	Push from one agent. Code default `55`. Prefab stores `60`.
BarrierTagToRemove	Barrier removed when the ladder is up. Prefab: `barrier`. The spawner can replace this.
initialState	`OnLand` on every ladder prefab.
IndestructibleMerlonsTag	Merlons that stay when the ladder arrives. Prefab stores empty. The spawner can fill this.
RemoveOnDeployTag	Tag removed on deploy. Empty.
AddOnDeployTag	Tag shown on deploy. Empty. The spawner copies its own value here.
PilotStandingPointTag	Pilot stand tag. Prefab: `Pilot`.

What it does

Attackers at the attacker points lift the ladder. Defenders at the defender points push it back. The fork point picks up push_fork. The spawner copies side, wall segment, on-wall navmesh, both rotation angles, the barrier tag, and the merlon tag onto this weapon.

Where it lives

Managed script. Prefabs in Native\Prefabs\props_siege_ladders.xml. No scene file stores the weapon script. Siege scenes store the spawner.

Examples

6 m ladder. siege_ladder_6m. Idle siege_ladder_6m_idle. Push thresholds 175 and 60. initialState OnLand. The 6m_mp copy uses the same clips.

7 m ladder, 6 m clips. siege_ladder_7m. Idle is still siege_ladder_6m_idle. The 7m_mp copy matches that.

Taller ladders. siege_ladder_8m, siege_ladder_11m, and siege_ladder_14m use the matching height prefix on every animation row. Each has an _mp copy with the same clips.
