would you mind if you explain how this works? I don’t understand how most things work on this system.

Well in honesty I don’t use this, I’ve done a different approach for my wall crawling where player wont be able to move from one face of a part to another.
But from how I know this works is that initially the player is mounted onto the wall using BodyVelocity and BodyGyro, this allows the player to face the part and the velocity allows the movement as you see in the script. Now how to move from one face of a part to another is actually simple… we cast a ray from inside the part by offseting the raycast origin by (0,0,-1) from rootpart, which is also shown in the script, using rightVector we can get the direction and cast a ray from within the part. What’s cool is raycasts don’t detect by part, but the surface they hit. So we can get the hit.Normal and hit.Position to turn the body using BodyGyro towards that position. The bug you are having is because of physics in general, where your script doesn’t take into consideration your velocity to turn you at the right time around the corner. I would tamper with the raycast origin, adujusting it in relation to your velocity.
Hope that gave some insight. (I’m making a rogue-like too

is there a way to check where the edge is, and where the part’s edge ends?
1 Like
Well, matter of fact I don’t think you need to find the edge what should be used in contrast with the current system is maybe AlignPosition | Roblox Creator Documentation, this should prevent the gap between the player and would be a much efficient fix as opposed to finding the sides of a part because you have to include the rotation of a part which is a bunch of math I don’t think worth diving into.
Compared to what @Blend_it has created to find the edge and have the player adjust to the next side I think this much more viable to create a revamp of the original.
All you would have to do is create a attachment for the rootpart and attachment for the raycast hit.Normal, Give these into a AlignPosition instance and I think it should work… I haven’t tested but the logic makes sense.
(Suggest you have a look into raycasting before trying to do this, every roblox dev must know how raycasting works)

Note I altered the one you gave so there shouldn’t be any changes to keybinds…
I didn’t include part to part, you would have to do that yourself, the approach I would take to do something like this would be to constantly cast a ray from the rootpart and cast rays depending on which key is being pressed ( A or D ) to cast a ray from either the RightArm/LeftArm in their respective rightVector directions. You would then move from there, understanding how this works and altering it to your desire.

uhh, i have no idea what i did, and it’s not working… could you explain a bit more of what i should do to fix it?
I attempted to do a part to part

Uh no I think you misunderstood, lemme explain…
What you would actually do is maybe casting a ray from each arm depending which direction the player is moving (left/right) this should be done using Right\Vector, reminder that you would need to offset the raycast origin to so that the ray wouldn’t detect the arm.
Example:
local rightarm = char["Right Arm"]
local hit = workspace:Raycast((rightarm.CFrame*CFrame.new(3,0,0).Position,rightarm,CFrame.RightVector*2,param)
if hit then
--// use face variable and the attachment code I made to adjust to the new surface
Here is how you would do a left arm
local leftarm = char["Left Arm"]
local hit = workspace:Raycast((leftarm.CFrame*CFrame.new(-3,0,0).Position,leftarm,CFrame.RightVector*-2,param)
if hit then
--// like rightarm
Now something you should include is casting a ray from the rootpart if the last touched part and the new part is not the same then use the alignposition code along the the climbGyro to adjust.

Could you release a version where you can climb from side to side/part to part? I have made wall climbing but I’m not understanding how ill incorporate side to side/part to part climbing too.

when you find a climbable wall simply keep raycasting to the humanoidrootparts rightvector and -rightvector if if finds something then you just set it to the new found wall
1 Like
This isn’t useful if you need to check around corners, there’s a few ways to check around corners I believe but if I were to do it I’d just raycast out the rightvector then forward then left and do the inverse for the other side but there’s probably a easier way.
I was looking around the code and noticed that at one part you said that it could be converted to work to climb all surfaces of a part. Could you explain how it can be modified or maybe simply give the code along with a minor explanation?
You’d have to remove the Y limitations that I put on, then shoot rays that hit the bottom and top by shooting a ray slightly in-front and down? maybe up too, I don’t think you have to do super complex ray casting because of Vector3.FromNormalId
Can’t believe I had to edit this so many times, when brain with no food.
