Post Help with falling off ledges!
Hy
I tried to make some jumps in Strike and District, but when I want to stand on balcony fence I keep falling down, like I just jump over it. That happens both in Strike and District. Same thing happens in Backlot. Here are some pics of the spots I can't stand on.

yup, it's like that to me as well, quite annoying. some places you don't climb over if you stand a little away from it when you jump towards it. other places it seems to be a specific part of the climb object that you have to climb at to not go over.

Those Fences are Static Meshes, made in 3DS Max (Probably) or different 3D Software.

I'm doing work about it in College at the moment. So basically take it this way, our Gaming Character is 92 (or 96) Units High (Something like that) And as everyone know it needs to be balanced propely.

Some static meshes just got a Small Alpha Channel around them (Transparency) and in some cases smaller amount of Alpha Channel or not having it is better than making it bigger so Player Can stand on it. (It is all about Polygons [More Polygons = Bigger Budget])

So In other words, they might be not enough Polygons to let your character stand on it :) (Some Meshes are different to another)

Hope you understand my messy writing :)

but not all ledges are short enough for a side jump, so you have to use climb to get up :/

also there are some places where I should be able to jump up (like in the middle of backlot, on the other side of the metal wall where you can get into the middle house, and in a staircase in crossfire/strike) man that's annoying... I run 250 fps and everything :(
