Travel: Difference between revisions

If a Blockhead is traveling along the bottom surfaces of solid blocks or the vertical sides of two or more, or if using a [[ladder]], it will climb. Blockheads are extremely capable climbers, never losing their grip and always finding a hand-hold.

When crossing a vertical rise (or drop) of two or more blocks, a Blockhead will make a one-block jump onto it and climb until it can safely make a one-block jump off. This means that for two-block climbs a blockhead will simply jump twice, clinging to a block between them. For greater distances, a Blockhead will make motions very similar to crawling but either up or down along the block sides.

The underside of blocks are no impediment to a Blockhead. When crossing a ceiling, a Blockhead will hang from its hands, slowly reaching forward before changing its grip and reaching with the other hand. Single block changes in height cause a Blockhead to lever itself closer using both arms before jumping slightly and grabbing the next surface with both hands. This is also how it transitions between a vertical climb and a ceiling climb.

A Blockhead climbing a ladder will face the ladder and travel up, down, or sideways as appropriate, its arms and legs moving similarly to crawling. Ladder climbing is about as fast as walking for vertical movement, but much slower horizontally.
