Actually I have done that for Action Half-Life 2. The basic idea behind how it works for us is that I perform the same checks you mentioned and set the player into wallclimb mode once the checks are passed. While in wallclimb mode any player input is kind of discarded (it more or less gets overwritten by the values needed for the climb). That way I move the player bbox up and on top of the ledge that's been grabbed. Along with an animation that fits the player bbox movement it looks and works quite well.

I thought about tracing constantly but it seems a little inefficient to me, is there a simple way to do this ? Next, I'm in the process of creating a cover system, in the style of Mass Effect and Metal Gear Solid. I'm having problems making the character lean against a wall. And should I actually rotate the player entity's origin, or simply animate the turning around, when leaning against a wall? Finally, I got a basic ledge climbing code working, but I want to add to it and do something similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded <http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GFu44oeLYPI> &v=GFu44oeLYPI What I'm doing right now is, tracing the player hull 2 times, once above the player, and once at the top of the ledge, I then evaluate if I have enough space on the ledge, and just teleport the player into position. Here's what it looks in action right now : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiO-GacEBJc I'd like to have him hold the ledge, but I'm not too sure whats the best course of action. Anybody done this before ?
