| Summary | 0006385: Improve ladder tutorial in Training Mission | ||||
| Description | Currently there is a ladder tutorial in the Training Mission and the room "Jumping & Climbing". The user is informed how to attach themselves to the ladder, but not how to move up and down on it. The movement works so that when "moving forward" then player will move in the direction they are looking: Looking up will move player up; looking down will move player down. "Moving backwards" will move player in the opposite direction that they are looking. The cardinal direction (e.g. if player is facing towards or away from ladder) has no effect. Since this is not the only possible solution to how moving on the ladder could have been implemented (e.g. "walking forward when facing the ladder always means climb upwards, regardless where player look"), it may be good to spell out how it works. Proposed solution: * Keep the current ladder, add a book next to the lantern labelled "Advanced ladder climbing" (a self-deprecating wink that something that is trivial in real life can be quite complicated in the game) * Add a basic ladder at (1279.56 -1972.52 388.25 -1.0 -2.4 0.0) where the top of the ladder stops at the edge. Add a note nailed on the right pole "Basic ladder climbing" that the user can frob and read. Add a tooltip to direct player's attention to the note. This will break up the information in to digestible pieces. | ||||
| Additional Information | "Basic ladder climbing" (note): To climb up a ladder, face the ladder, look slightly upwards and walk towards the ladder. As long as you look upwards, walking forward will make you climb up and walking backwards will make you climb down. To climb down a ladder, stand with you back to the top of the ladder, look slightly upwards and back onto the ladder. As long as you look upwards, walking backward will make you climb down. "Advanced ladder climbing" (book): * attaching to ladder with jump, running on ladder (i.e. climb fast), sliding on ladder (and possible damage dealt when landing), crouching on ladder (0005962), attaching to a ladder going down when the top of the ladder is higher than the edge, mantling the edge from the ladder, how to jump off a ladder to the ground or to the sides * explaining how to climb down the ladder in the Training Mission. This is a bit of a challenge: Walking towards it and looking down at it, player will bounce of (because the top of the ladder is higher than the ledge it will be interpreted as a foot long ladder going up). To successfully climb down player can walk towards it, jump up on it, turn around, look up, move backwards. If there is an easier way then write that out. The intention is that the tone of the book is informative and serious, but that the book is at the same time funny in its exhaustiveness. | ||||
