In this guide, we will be looking at how to use the **Climbable Component** to make objects in your experience ready for Climbing!

<figure><img src="/files/gGkC97WXakfsFpe1tU9R" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is an incredibly **simple but powerful** tool. Although it only has one variable to customize (the speed at which you can climb) it offers a massive amount of variety and value in **how it is implemented**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Aside from the utility, **climbing is fun** and allows for a sense of discovery and exploration.
{% endhint %}

Having climbable objects is an effective way for players to have **greater access** to portions of the experience. Incorporating the Climbable component is a really important tool for maximising the total **area of usable space** that you can utilize in your experience.

### Setting it up

To use this component first you need to **choose the asset** you want to make climbable. In this case, we will be using a ladder. Once your object is in the scene, click the object and navigate to the **Components tab**. Click Add Component and then **Select the Climbable Component**.

<figure><img src="/files/5AhtFn0Mjbun111plYop" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

And...well...**that's it!** There you have it! Now you can **get climbing!**

The only thing to change in the variables is the **speed** at which your user can climb, which you can set using the slider, **from 0.00 - 1.00**. Other than that, it's all about how you choose to use and position your objects.

Want **more than one** ladder? Easy.

To save time, **duplicate the object** you applied the Component to by hitting **Ctrl + D,** this will create another copy, components and all, which you can either re-use somewhere else or combine with your original copy.

You can even **stack two ladders** on top of each other to create a longer ladder.

**Not long enough?** No problem. You can then **hold shift** while using **left-click** to select your two ladders or **hold left-click** and **drag** to select them both, duplicate those, and **stack them** on top as well.

**Still not long enough?** Well, guess what, you can repeat these steps and keep stacking until you achieve the desired outcome.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can jump from one ladder to another. Place ladders close enough so they can be leapt to and from. Make getting to a higher location a dynamic and challenging feat of parkour skills
{% endhint %}

It’s **not only ladders** you can use though. If it’s an object, then you can try adding the Climbable Component to it.&#x20;

It’s **not only ladders** you can use though. If it’s an object, then you can try adding the Climbable Component to it. Of course, some objects may **work better than others** depending on how you want to use them, such as a column, vines, rocks, statues, trees, a power pole, or even a car, but ultimately it's down to you and the world you have created.

**Give it a go** and see how you can **implement the Climbable Component** in your experience.
