How do I make my 8 dir. character climb a ramp or ladder?

Hello everyone.

I'm working on a game with a 3d lateral perspective, and my question is, how do I make a sprite that can climb ramps or ladders? I've tried several things, and all of them seem to work properly more or less, but I'm sure that there have to be some way to make it easier.

What i'm trying to explain is that when the character is moving normal everything is ok, but when it finds a ramp or a ladder, I don't know how to make that diagonal up or down movement to represent that it is climbing the ladder.

I'm having problems making a ramp that only could be climbed from the front or back, but not from the sides, and neither do I know how to make the character to fall for a few pixels if it falls from a small high.

Thank you so much, I don't now if I've been able to explain my problem, english is not my first language.

you could try to increase its size if its going up and decrease it if it goes up

Try this tutorial below link; also add platform as well in your game so when you climb you can disable 8 direction and use Platform to climb once you finish with ladder climb then disable platform then back to 8 direction

Thank you so!
