The only ways to ensure that a character climbs at the proper distance from a wall that I'd found, is to either place a waypoint at the exact wall edge, or place a clickable object at the bottom as the start point (Set the proper start distance from the wall), with a WP at the top (set back from the edge 1m, which serves as the location to jump them to for finishing the animation).
Both methods require you to adjust the starting distance from the wall by the character model's animation scale to ensure that you're beginning at the correct distance.
The only full scripts I made for them using that method were for Sinfar, though, using the custom nwnx and nwncx systems (and server specific includes) they have, or I'd just post all the code for that method. Unfortunately, as it is, most of the code will only work there.
Here's the function I used to get the base PC race's animation scales, using the animation scales in the basemodels. It's one of the things that you'll need even if someone has a nwnx edge detction script that you can use to find the wall with.
//// returns the animation scale for that appearance number.
//// returns 1.0f if no match is present.
float GetAnimationScale(object oTarget = OBJECT_SELF)
{
// Sanity check.Don't want anyone dividing by 0.0
if(oTarget==OBJECT_INVALID)return 1.0;
float fScale = 1.0;
if (GetGender (oTarget) == GENDER_FEMALE)
{
switch (GetAppearanceType(oTarget))
{
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_DWARF: fScale = 0.65; break;
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_ELF: fScale = 0.894; break;
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_GNOME:
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_HALFLING: fScale = 0.64; break;
// The 1.0 races don't need to be listed separately.
default: 1.0; break;
}
}
else
{
switch (GetAppearanceType(oTarget))
{
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_DWARF: fScale = 0.66; break;
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_ELF: fScale = 0.895; break;
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_GNOME: fScale = 0.62; break;
case APPEARANCE_TYPE_HALFLING: fScale = 0.65; break;
// The 1.0 races don't need to be listed separately.
default: 1.0; break;
}
}
return fScale;
}
