Currently making a quest that makes use of the ladder and I want to be able to use it to cross pitfalls; however, no matter what I try it doesn't seem to work?

Tried setting the pitfall combos to "Allow Ladders", it still doesn't work. Check the Ladder item, I see that you need to enable "Can Ladder Over Pitfalls", which fair enough, so I do that but it still doesn't work. At this point I'm wondering if there's some other additional setting I need to do in order to get this to work...?

(Also, I know ladders aren't disabled in the room as I can use a ladder only combo just fine, and in theory I could replace all the pitfalls with ladder only combos so they aren't actual pitfalls and it's just all visual, but that doesn't really sit well with me).

The pitfall needs to allow ladders and the ladder needs to have "can ladder over pitfalls". It works fine for me in a fresh quest after setting those settings, so unsure what issue you're having without more information.

Well, I tried it with a fresh install and it worked, so I went looking around in QRs to see if there was something that I changed from the default that might have messed things up. Turns out unchecking "Player Drowns in Walkable Water" makes it so ladders can't be used on pitfalls, but I can re-check it to make it work again so the issue is fixed for now, thanks!

Ah. That uh, makes some sense. No one really unchecks that checkbox anymore, that's basically required for most newer water stuff to work right- and I guess that includes some ladder code that's needed for pitfalls too...
