Don't you know the ladder.cog, can I change it to be used for surfaces and 3do's (not sector areas)?Can I get close to surface and climb it?

I thought of an idea using ghost positions and adding force in there direction to simulate a ladder. However, it was nothing more than an idea in my head.

My figuring was, you would activate the ladder which would most likely be a 3do or maybe surface and it would find the 'top' of the ladder. (represented by a placed ghost position) Then the cog would find a position at the x,y coords of the ghost, but slightly above the z of the player. It would create a ghost here and apply force to the player. Ghost would be destroyed when the player reached the position and another one created. It would repeat this process until either the player left the ladder or reached the top.

Thats my idea, I'm sure it needs some tinkering but it seems feasible to me.
