chocolambot Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 any chance we will ever see a climbing mod? including one that allows NPC's to climb aswell in pursuit of the player? I have heard a few modders talk about it, but I don't know how serious they are, and wether it is even possible. thoughts? is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McclaudEagle Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 It might be possible, as modders have often shown just what the engine truly is capable of, but it seems more likely to join many other ideas in the Realm of Impossibility. Sadly, there are some things modders just can't do because the engine is limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khorosho Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I remember an Oblivion mod where the player could shoot an arrow with a rope attached to it that he could walk on. Googled it and found it here: So having the player climb definitely isn't outside the realm of possibility when the engine's 2005 iteration could handle it.

Iv121 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 In theory there are almost no limits to what you can make if you really want to. I don't see anything in the engine that limits such as thing (Besides the absence of the function OFC :P ). It is possible for example to cover the mountain with triggers that will force the player into a climbing anim and push him up as if he actually climbs. It will be glitchy in some cases but will work fine. Might even work on NPCs... Another way is to give the player a rope like in Thieves Arsenal just a bit more advanced (Cmon complicated physics are now possible :) ) . When the player activates the rope or triggers it it can force him into the climbing anim. Teaching the NPCs to use such stuff is much more complicated, we can assume they simply don't carry climbing equipment on a daily basis :). If I'm wrong correct me please , with my knowledge in animating and scripting I can just guess ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner385 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I believe there are scripts out there that allow you to fly. Climbing would be like restricted flying I'd imagine, no clue how you would detect the surfaces though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porroone Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Once SKSE exposes the GetCrossHairRef() function I think it could be done, with that I could even make the player climb in the correct angle and of course playing custom animations while climbing.
