Stair Climbing Mod

A small modification to Platform.c for GB Studio 2.0β5 implementing climbable stairs in platformer mode.

How to Install

1. Eject the engine from your game.
2. Copy the file Platform.c from the folder StairClimbMod/assets/engine/src/states/ in this mod to the same folder in your project. For example: YourGreatGame/assets/engine/src/states/
3. Add stairs to the collisions in your game.

How to Create Stairs

In this mod, stairs are represented by a combination of collision types.

• Collision Left & Ladder = Climbed from the left
• Collision Right & Ladder = Climbed from the right

When the engine sees these collision types placed together it interprets it as climbable stairs.

NOTE: This means that the player cannot stand on top of these stair blocks. Instead, a platform can be placed right below them.

Please check out the example project included here to see exactly how they work.

Known Issues

1. Sometimes a player may pass through a climbable stair instead of climbing it. This is unusual, but happens.
2. All climbable stairs are also ladders.
3. Climbable stairs cannot also be solid standing surfaces.

Requirements

This game was built with GB Studio 2.0-beta 5. I'm not sure if it will work with other versions.
