Fixed Half-Life GoldSrc-Like ladders This type of ladder was bugged a lot - espacially over network. Movement modes wasn’t switching for players and I learned next thing about writing custom movement code. I have to fix a lot of stuff in my net-code but I will get back to this later.

Engine update - Unreal Engine 5.5 Preview After long break I returned to the project. But meanwhile new version of engine was released so I had to update my project to this version because I want to have the newer one. Why? Because.

If someone is looking for an actual tutorial on how to implement a spectating system, I refer you here. Interestingly, this tutorial shows how to do it using SpectatorPawn, not...
