Ladder Rotation Brakes charachter

Im having trouble to make the ladder work with a vehicle. Right now on a flat surface it works fine but as it will be changing position and rotation the ladder does not work as i hoped it would be. Also tried something with a simple automatic Animation with a modified Climb script, but also doesnt like the rotation and i get the camera stuck in a fixed rotation. I looked in to how the Drive ability handle the charachter on Exit but could not get to work. Im out of ideas, any help would be aprecheated.

The Opsive ladder bug:

The small ladder problem:

This script i use for the the Smaller ladder

Rotated ladders similar to that are not currently supported. Without debugging the code with breakpoints it's really hard to say what is going on.

In terms of vehicles, in the demo scene there is an example where the character moves with a moving platform. Have you tried comparing?

Thank you for the reply. The vehicle part works fine , the only part what bugs me is that the ladder does not like rotation :/
 
Ok i changed the ladder scrip, im not sure if it still brakes something but at least i can use a slope and rotated ladder now. However Enabled Move with Object, does still make the camera rotate.


Code:
/// <summary>
        /// The ability has stopped running.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="force">Was the ability force stopped?</param>
        protected override void AbilityStopped(bool force)
        {
            base.AbilityStopped(force);

            m_ClimbState = ClimbState.BottomMount; // Reset for next start.


            var forward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(m_CharacterLocomotion.LookSource.Transform.forward, -m_CharacterLocomotion.GravityDirection);
            m_CharacterLocomotion.SetPositionAndRotation(m_CharacterLocomotion.transform.position, Quaternion.LookRotation(forward, -m_CharacterLocomotion.GravityDirection), true, false);

            if (m_JumpInput != null) {
                m_Handler.UnregisterInputEvent(m_JumpInput);
                GenericObjectPool.Return(m_JumpInput);
                EventHandler.UnregisterEvent(m_GameObject, "OnJumpInput", OnJumpInput);
            }

            //m_CharacterLocomotion.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;

            EventHandler.UnregisterEvent(m_GameObject, "OnAnimatorLadderClimbStartInPosition", OnLadderClimbStartInPosition);
            EventHandler.UnregisterEvent(m_GameObject, "OnAnimatorLadderClimbComplete", OnLadderClimbComplete);
        }
