I'd make a trigger volume around the ladder, and when you enter it (or onInside) switch to a ladder control system in your player

Without remembering the proper code:

On the ladder with collider.Test the collider for a player entering
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

onTriggerEnter  (Collider thePlayerCollider){

MyCustomController thePlayer =(MyCustomController) getComponent (ofType(
MyCustomController));

thePlayer.isClimbing = true;

}

inMyCustomControlle (ie you custom code inheritted from OVR controller


update(){

if (isClimbing)
{
doClimbMovement();
}
else 
{
doUsualMovement();
}

}

You'll need to add the actual climb anim and logic

Does that make sense.

Its prob what I'd do..but Im sure other people have better ideas.

Thank you. I am new in coding. I will try to figure out how to code a custom controller.
I will appreciate any sample script. I am sorry for being asking for to much.

Well, I created 2 new scripts and added a new function the the OVRPlayerController:&nbsp;Script 1&nbsp;OVRLadderController.cs &nbsp;attached to the

the FPS is Climbing Up without any problems but It can't climb down because the FPS keep moving in the Up direction and off course is exiting the trigger.Is it any way to detect if we are climbing Up or Down and change the FPS moving direction? Maybe using the Camera View Direction or Colliders.I will appreciate any help.Regards.
