Level Design

Undertale Research  When I was playing through Undertale I decided to do a pacifist run, meaning I couldn't hurt a "monster" in the entire game. The point of such a playthrough is to cause the player to learn about and develop feelings for the "bosses" in the game, who turn into their friend rather than always being the conventional foe. The final boss is an old friend (sorry I'm trying not to ruin the game) who tries everything in his power to defeat you, but in this run, no matter what, you stay determined and continue to try and help him. He keeps attacking you and there's nothing you can do about it, getting to a point your health goes into fractions of 1 (another interesting and unique aspect of a game) This makes the player feel helpless and in that moment I realised that games can make the player feel emotions through gameplay. Many games in the past have done this before. For example, in mega man x (I know I keep bringing it up) at ...

As the character climbs up one wall, it recognises the ledge about the one it needs to climb. Here is an example of it.  To fix this I began to troubleshoot my game. I try a few things first, I had to find the problem that was causing it, so the logical source of the problem would the ledge tracer. So to check if this was the problem I put the ledge tracer to be on in debug mode, persistently. Then I started the game and saw that it was triggering with the blocks above me. So be I began changing variables in the blueprint that relate to the ledge hight tracer and look at where it moves the tracer ( the green and red sphere). Then through trial and err...
