Ladder Script Help

[Dicktanner]

Hi Unity Community! I’m fairly new to scripting and I am currently trying to make a ladder that the character controller can walk up to and press up to go up, or down to go down. I would also like that character to hold their Y position when not pressing anything (i.e. holding onto the ladder at a static height). Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have a good grasp on the Vector3. This part of the code: PlayerTransform.transform.position+=(Vector3(0,Speed* Time.deltaTime,0));
causes the character to either only go down or go up. If I use 1 instead of Speed * Time.deltaTime the ladder works but is way to fast, I have also tried using decimals but once again, they seem to direct the Player down only and very quickly. Why don’t the Vector3s work the way I am expecting? Below is my complete code:

var Speed : float;
var Player : GameObject;
var Height : float;
var PlayerTransform : Transform;

function Start(){
Player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");

PlayerTransform = Player.transform;
}

function Update(){
Height = Player.transform.position.y;
}

function OnTriggerStay(other : Collider){
if ((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")>0) && other.name == "Player"){
PlayerTransform.transform.position+=(Vector3(0,Speed* Time.deltaTime,0));
}
else if ((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")<0) && other.name == "Player"){
PlayerTransform.transform.position-=(Vector3(0,Speed*Time.deltaTime,0));
}
else{
Player.transform.position.y = Height;
}
}

I rewrote the code from Scratch and ended up with this attached to the player:

var Ladder = false;
var Speed : float;
var Height : float;

function Update(){
Height = transform.position.y;
	if (Ladder == true){
	LadderFunction();
	}
	}

function LadderFunction(){
if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical")>0){
transform.position.y += Speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
else if (Input.GetAxis("Vertical")<0){
transform.position.y -= Speed * Time.deltaTime;
}
}

And this attached to the ladder trigger:

var Player : GameObject;
var Gravity : float;

function Start (){
Player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
Gravity = Player.GetComponent("CharacterMotor").movement.maxFallSpeed;
}

function OnTriggerStay(){
Player.GetComponent("PlayerLadder").Ladder = true;
Player.GetComponent("CharacterMotor").movement.maxFallSpeed = 0;

}

function OnTriggerExit(){
Player.GetComponent("PlayerLadder").Ladder = false;
Player.GetComponent("CharacterMotor").movement.maxFallSpeed = Gravity;

}

It isn’t perfect (because I still can’t just jump off of the ladder, I have to fall), but it seems to do the trick generally.
