About this asset

Our Ledge Detection and Navigation System is a powerful and flexible solution for detecting ledges and smoothly aligning player characters during traversal.

It supports complex geometries, including inward and outward turns, inclines, and uneven surfaces.

QuickStart Guide | Documentation | Tutorials | Discord

Designed with compatibility and extensibility in mind, the system gives developers full freedom to integrate and customize the mechanics to fit their project and animation workflow.

Great for platformers, action-adventure titles, parkour games, and any genre needing third-person platfrom traversal.

The system calculates multiple positions and directional data points along ledges, making it easy to implement advanced animation IK and polished traversal animations.

With minimal setup required, level designers can focus entirely on building environments, simply assign the appropriate layer to your level geometry, and the system handles the rest automatically.

100% royalty-free built on CC0 animations, with no Mixamo dependency or third-party licensing risk.

Compatibility

Render pipelines supported in each Unity version
Unity version Built-in URP HDRP Custom
2022.3.62f3 Compatible Compatible Compatible Compatible

This asset is compatible with Unity 6.

Also, this asset is render pipeline independent as it at its core it only consists of scripts and code architecture.

However, for the demo scenes to render properly you might have to use the built in material conversion tool to upgrade to URP.

Also, the example character prefab is using the new Input System for input reading.
