Missing climbing animation

Describe the bug

On 2007-05-13 05:58, erorr404 said:

90% of the time when I see remote players climbing onto a ledge (or hanging from it), the proper animation doesn't show. Instead they're stuck in a non-changing falling animation until they get up or jump back down.

To reproduce

These instructions have not been tested.

Get a friend to join your server and hang from a wall.
Join your server and check if your friend is actually hanging from the wall.

Probably need to do hanging from a cliff state syncing for this to be fixed. Currently it relies on our keysync.

When you are hanging from a wall and a player that was out of stream goes near you, he will see you floating and not with the proper animation

This happens nowhere near as much as it used to, the only way to reproduce it nowadays is when you're not in their streaming range when they're hanging meaning this bug is only noticeable when:

Somebody remains hanging for a very long time

You get warped to them and see it for about a second

@ArranTuna, I still can see this happening when a player runs to a wall and climbs fast, he floats for a while then warps to the right position

I've made a video which shows some common, but random, poorly synced climbing animations.

To try and be more helpful I made a sync debug script which shows what controls are being synced to me while recording but this is only in the last part of the video but it shows a serious case of desync first with the player sliding along the ground which is also a common desync bug and then the jump is completely messed up.

Which control state the arrows are referring to in the video:

Forwards: Up arrow

Backwards: Down arrow

Left: Left arrow

Right: Right arrow

Jump: Half circle arrow

Sprint: Up arrow with extra line in it

Also, the video is playing at 0.5x speed since it's all over too quickly to get a good look at it on full speed.
