Ledge Strafe

The Ledge Strafe ability will play a strafing animation while the character is on a ledge. This ledge should be narrow to prevent the character from being able to walk normally across it. A wall must exist on one side of the ledge that the character can lean against.

Setup

Select the + button in the ability list under the “Abilities” foldout of the Ultimate Character Locomotion component.
Add the “Agility Pack/Ledge Strafe” ability. This ability should be near the top of the ability list so it overrides any lower priority ability.
Set the State name to “LedgeStrafe” and add the crawl states to other objects that should change values when Ledge Strafe is active. In the demo scene the Character IK and Capsule Collider Positioner components have a LedgeStrafe added.
Setup the ledge that the character can strafe on. The ledge object should either be in the specified Layer Mask or contain the Object Identifier component with the specified Object ID. See the Detect Ground Ability Base class for more information on these parameters.
A solid object should exist on one side of the ledge that the character can lean against.
