Hanging is a stealth mechanic that any Player Pirate can use by entering crouching mode and then Primary Interacting ( F / ) with a "Hang from Ledge" location.
The player can leave the "Hang from Ledge" location by either pressing the Primary Interacting ( F / ) again or pressing the Jump ( {{Space Bar / {{
) to fall below the ledge.
Functions
When hanging the player will effectively "hang" off the side of a ledge keeping them effectively hidden from others onboard the ship. Hanging is only possible at certain locations called "Hang from Ledge" which is commonly at sitting areas on ships.
The player hanging will also be put into a third-person view, similar to emoting, allowing them to see around the hanging location.
Similar to crouching it will hide the player's name but their body will still be visible hanging off the side of the ship. The player's fingers will be peaking over the ledge where the player is hanging from.
Hanging can also be interrupted either by taking damage, bumping into an entity such as a rock, or any sort of pushing effect. Upon interruption, the player will fall below the ledge area.
List of "Hang from Ledge" Locations
Player ships have many hanging spots that reflect on both the left and right sides. In total the Sloop has 6, the Brigantine has 4 and the Galleon has 10.
On the Sloop, the spots you can hang from are as follows: The ledge behind the frontmost lanterns, the ledge behind the cannons, and the ledge in front of the sail-length rope.
On the Brigantine, the spots you can hang from are as follows: The ledge behind the frontmost lanterns and the ledge behind the ladders.
On the Galleon, the spots you can hang from are as follows: The ledge in front of the frontmost lanterns, the ledge in front of the frontmost cannons, the ledge in between the last two cannons, the ledge behind the back most cannon, and the ledge in front of the back most sail-length rope.
