Climb Ropes Without Animation Glitches
Why Rope Climbing Looks Broken
Climbable ropes from Create Aeronautics trigger climbing animations, but your custom player model animations keep playing simultaneously. This causes your character's limbs to clip through the rope or move in unnatural ways that don't match the climbing action.
How Kinetic Avatar Sync Solves Rope Climbing
When you grab onto a rope, the mod pauses your custom animations and locks your character into a stable climbing hold. Your hands grip the rope properly, your body stays aligned with the cable, and there's no clipping or awkward overlapping animations.
Steps to Climb Cleanly
1. Approach a climbable rope
2. Interact with or grab the rope as normal
3. Your character's animation pauses into a holding pose
4. Climb up or down—your pose stays locked
5. Release the rope to resume animations
This works with any animation pack. The mod detects rope contact automatically and applies the fix without requiring configuration. Your character will maintain proper hand and body alignment throughout the entire climb.
