This system allows traversal of larger creatures. It works by having specific Cling objects. These objects can be placed anywhere through the map for your player to climb on, even attached to the bones of a Skeletal Mesh in the blueprints!

The Clingobjects are set to Clingable and the Damageable is for the damage. A tutorial is in the works showing how to set it up on existing players and AI.
