So im looking for an EASY way to make the players old body remain where it died and all body parts remaining attached kind of like a ragdoll death.

Does anybody know how to do this? I rlly need this function for my horror game =)))

First, make or get a system to make any character a ragdoll. Then, just clone the player’s character on death and ragdoll it, removing the real character. Then respawn or kick the player manually.

Humanoid have .Dead function. You can bind your procedure to that function

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    -- Code runs here
end)

You can use BallSocketConstraint, and attach it to Character HumanoidRootPart and corresponding limbs.

Disable / Destroy Motor6Ds.

Code : Normal script, place it in StarterCharacterScript.

local character = script.Parent

local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false

local function ragdoll(target)
	for index,joint in pairs(target:GetDescendants()) do
		if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			a1.Parent = joint.Part0
			a2.Parent = joint.Part1
			socket.Parent = joint.Parent
			socket.Attachment0 = a1
			socket.Attachment1 = a2
			a1.CFrame = joint.C0
			a2.CFrame = joint.C1
			socket.LimitsEnabled = true
			socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
			joint:Destroy()
		end
	end
	

	--task.wait(5) 
    --target:Destroy()

end

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	ragdoll(character)
end)

There’s tons of good ragdoll modules in the toolbox. Why re-invent the wheel?

You’re supposed to :Clone() the character…

local clonedChar = player.Character:Clone()

Put that in your Humanoid.Died event.

Addending this, cloning on its own will not work, because characters are non-Archivable (and thus will return nil on :Clone()). You’ll want player.Character.Archivable = true before you clone.

Umm… I knew that. Forgot to mention it. I had to do that because I have an NPC that does a soul take move on the player.

I’m not going to teach you how to use the toolbox. You could watch some youtube videos on basic roblox studio info.

#18

Put it in startercharacter or starterplayer, or check the module for a guide, probably can find it somewhere in there. It’s super easy, the most popular one afaik. Just put it in starterplayer
