The way I did the my climb is like this, obviously there's some missing code just on top of this for when key is released while grabbing a ledge.

Also the On Timer "hangTime" in which I set isGrabbing to False as well. That way player can fall from a ledge by releasing a key or by staying too long grabbing one.

The collision helper I use is called climbDetect, and Player got an invisible sprite attached to it called handDetect. So when one is overlapping the other Player goes to grabbing state.

Now, since I have to place these ledge helpers everywhere manually, there's more chances of making mistakes, so that's why I'm trying to do it automatically.

oosyrag, no is not a tilemap yet but eventually will be. For now since is just a prototype and test bed I use a sprite with 3 different frames so I know which one is for walls, floor and corners.
Collision is done with a sprite mask.

Estecka, yeah same I've been trying to solve this but with no success. I read several tutorials that could share same methods but didn't help too much.
So far I just seem to be able to spawn them in every sprite without taking into account in which frame it is.

yeah, tried it, but either got to spawn just one or one one each corner of every tile. I use an instance variable to determine whether they are right or left but this too didn't work.

For a better explanation, the last post on my tumblr.

The big red tiles are one of the sprite frames which is placed in corners. Attached to these ones there's a small helper. I've been trying to do it automatically rather than by hand but with no success.

probably using a custom movement.

I did something similar but for a side scroller prototype. Used an invisible sprite as controller for the animated sprite. My movement was more grid like but it would be feasible in the same sort of way. Now, you could define a path so when you click in one section it goes though an already predetermined path. So as previous poster said, using pathfinding.

By dynamically setting collisions on and off for certain objects I reduced a lot. There must be other better ways though as well

More precisely, I would like to spawn during runtime ledge helpers and attach them to corners when its possible.

Also, is it effective memory wise? or is it better to just go old fashioned way and do it by hand when creating levels?

Thanks
