Scripting a character to climb a truss ladder down

[Piggy_Gam1ngg (piggy_gaming)]

I am trying to create a simple “climbing animation”: where the player climbs down a truss to the next level.

Though, what ever I try to do it seems as though I cannot make the player climb down for some reason.
What i’ve tried:

• PathfindingService - won’t detect the truss
• humanoid:MoveTo - only climbs up
• player:Move - only climbs up

Here’s my current implementation of the code:

--play ladder climb animation
		Controls:Disable()
		humanoid:MoveTo(exit.PathFindableLocation.Position)
		connection = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
			connection:Disconnect()
			wait(0.5)
			player.Character:PivotTo(exit.PivotLocation.CFrame)
			local climbing = false
			connection = humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(_,state)
				if state == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Climbing then
					climbing = true
					connection:Disconnect()
					wait(1)
					player:Move(Vector3.new(0,0, 50), false)
				end
			end)
			while not climbing do
				player:Move(Vector3.new(0,0, -1), false)
				wait()
			end
			
		end)

Below is an example of what I am trying to achieve.

Instead of doing all this stuff which is way to complicated for what you are trying to achieve play a animation.

Place or move the character to the place he needs to be and then play the animation which starts at that position.

How would I move the character down in a way that looks natural?
my guess is a Linear Tween

That shouldn’t be all to hard, just make a linear or cubic styled animation which goes downward, then between those keyframes add in the arm and leg movement.
