Animating "Dead" Ragdolls need help!

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I am trying to create a script where the player can pick up “dead” bodies. These dead bodies are said ragdolls and are created on a players death. The player has carry animations and the ragdoll has animations to be carried with.

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The issue is that ragdolls dont seem to come with Motor6Ds so they cant be animated and when adding Motor6Ds I cant seem to change their pivot point…

This is how the explorer looks

With the ragdoll

and this is the result when the animation tries to play

  1. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I’ve tried adding Motor6Ds to the ragdoll when interacting with it to no avail. I’ve tried checking the C0 of the Motor6D with no avail either. I’m just confused on how to tackle this problem.

This is the script im using

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local AnimFolder = script.Parent:WaitForChild("CarryAnimations")

local characterA = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local humanoidA = characterA:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local animatorA = humanoidA.Animator

local playerMouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

local carryingAnim = AnimFolder:WaitForChild("Carrying")
local carryingTrack = animatorA:LoadAnimation(carryingAnim)
local carryingIdleAnim = AnimFolder:WaitForChild("CarryingIdle")
local carryingIdleTrack = animatorA:LoadAnimation(carryingIdleAnim) 
local gettingCarriedAnim = AnimFolder:WaitForChild("GettingCarried")
local gettingCarriedTrack = animatorA:LoadAnimation(gettingCarriedAnim)
local gettingCarriedIdleAnim = AnimFolder:WaitForChild("GettingCarriedIdle")
local gettingCarriedIdleTrack = animatorA:LoadAnimation(gettingCarriedIdleAnim)

local function addMotors(character)
	local torso = character.Torso
	if not torso:FindFirstChild("Neck") then
		local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
		motor.Name = "Neck"
		motor.Parent = torso
		motor.MaxVelocity = 0.1
		motor.Part0 = torso
		motor.Part1 = character["Head"]
	end
	if not torso:FindFirstChild("Left Hip") then
		local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
		motor.Name = "Left Hip"
		motor.Parent = torso
		motor.MaxVelocity = 0.1
		motor.Part0 = torso
		motor.Part1 = character["Left Leg"]
	end
	if not torso:FindFirstChild("Right Hip") then
		local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
		motor.Name = "Right Hip"
		motor.Parent = torso
		motor.MaxVelocity = 0.1
		motor.Part0 = torso
		motor.Part1 = character["Right Leg"]
	end
	if not torso:FindFirstChild("Left Shoulder") then
		local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
		motor.Name = "Left Shoulder"
		motor.Parent = torso
		motor.MaxVelocity = 0.1
		motor.Part0 = torso
		motor.Part1 = character["Left Arm"]
	end
	if not torso:FindFirstChild("Right Shoulder") then
		local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
		motor.Name = "Right Shoulder"
		motor.Parent = torso
		motor.MaxVelocity = 0.1
		motor.Part0 = torso
		motor.Part1 = character["Right Arm"]
	end
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(i,gp)
	if i.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and playerMouse.Target.Parent:WaitForChild("RagdollHumanoid") then
		local humanoidB = playerMouse.Target.Parent:WaitForChild("RagdollHumanoid")
		local animatorB = humanoidB.Animator
		print("Pressed F and hit a ragdoll!")
		addMotors(humanoidB.Parent)
		carryingIdleTrack:Play()
		animatorB:LoadAnimation(gettingCarriedIdleAnim):Play()
	end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(i,gp)
	
end)
