Basic ragdoll script isn't replicating to client

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I have written a simple fading ragdoll function for when players die.
During play test the code works with no errors in output.
However in play test, when my character dies the ragdoll effect does not happen but the fading does.
I found two issues…

  1. One or both Attachments are nil within the BallSocketConstraints only on the Client in play test while both Part0 and Part1 Attachments are set properly when viewing Server Side in play test.

  2. Motor6D instances are not destroyed upon death.

I am not sure if it is a bug or my coding. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this when making a ragdoll script. The last time when I noticed this client side problem I just I called the function in a LocalScript added to StarterPlayerScripts too and it worked out. Although this time when I tried to apply the same fix the same issues persists on the client despite both local script and server script running the code.

game.ReplicatedStorage.ModuleScript

local m = {}
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
function m.FadingRagdoll(Character)
	for _, Descendant in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
		if Descendant:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local socket = Character:FindFirstChild(Descendant.Name)
			if not socket then
				socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
				socket.Name = Descendant.Name
			end
			local A0 = Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
			local A1 = Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
			socket.Attachment0 = A0
			socket.Attachment1 = A1
			socket.LimitsEnabled = true
			socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
			Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
				Descendant:Destroy()
			end)
		end
		if Descendant:IsA("BasePart") or Descendant:IsA("Decal") and Descendant.Transparency ~= 1 then
			Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
				local fade = TS:Create(Descendant,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9})
				fade:Play()
			end)
		end
	end
	local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not Humanoid then
		Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",10)
	end
	Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
end
return m

game.ServerScriptService.ServerScript

local MS = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ModuleScript)
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(MS.FadingRagdoll)
end)

game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.LocalScript

local MS = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").ModuleScript)
game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(MS.FadingRagdoll)

Why are scripted Part1 and Part0 Attachments not replicated to client when the character is added and Motor6D instance are not destroyed upon Humanoid.Died?
What is the problem exactly and how can I work around it or make it work for now?
I hope I do not need to completely rewrite the function as I’d like to keep it simple since I am still a newbie scripter. :woozy_face: Is being too simple the problem?!

#2

I deleted the ModuleScript inserted the code directly into the LocalScript and ServerScript…
game.ServerScriptService.ServerScript

Code 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		for _, Descendant in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
			if Descendant:IsA("Motor6D") then
				local socket = Character:FindFirstChild(Descendant.Name)
				if not socket then
					socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
					socket.Name = Descendant.Name
				end
				local A0 = Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
				local A1 = Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
				socket.Attachment0 = A0
				socket.Attachment1 = A1
				socket.LimitsEnabled = true
				socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
				Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
					Descendant:Destroy()
				end)
			end
			if Descendant:IsA("BasePart") or Descendant:IsA("Decal") and Descendant.Transparency ~= 1 then
				Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
					local fade = TS:Create(Descendant,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9})
					fade:Play()
				end)
			end
		end
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if not Humanoid then
			Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",10)
		end
		Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
	end)
end)

game.StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.LocalScript

Code 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	for _, Descendant in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
		if Descendant:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local socket = Character:FindFirstChild(Descendant.Name)
			if not socket then
				socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
				socket.Name = Descendant.Name
			end
			local A0 = Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
			local A1 = Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
			socket.Attachment0 = A0
			socket.Attachment1 = A1
			socket.LimitsEnabled = true
			socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
			Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
				Descendant:Destroy()
			end)
		end
		if Descendant:IsA("BasePart") or Descendant:IsA("Decal") and Descendant.Transparency ~= 1 then
			Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
				local fade = TS:Create(Descendant,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9})
				fade:Play()
			end)
		end
	end
	local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	if not Humanoid then
		Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",10)
	end
	Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
end)

Now in play test, I still have no errors in output but the fading effect no longer works either when my character dies in addition to the client side problems…:sob:

  1. Motor6D not Destroyed on neither client or server
    *Sometimes the neck Motor6D is destroyed and head falls off
  2. (Client Side) BallSocketConstraint either one or both Part1 and Part0 are nil
    *Only ones that sometimes have Attachment set are Neck or Root
  3. None of the baseparts or decals(face) fade
    *Sometimes the head will fade

I tested your scripts (the original one with the Module Script existing). They work fine. The only change I made was removing the Local Script as it is unnecessary (all changes to the Server will replicate to the Client unless told in the API that they will not).

The Local Script might be the problem.

#4

I am not too familiar with API or what it is or what it means… so, I doubt I have fiddled around with it either for that to be a cause of the matter.
With that said, to test I opened a blank(new) place in studio and inserted the code into a ServerScript in ServerScriptService with no luck of seeing it work in play test.

Code 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		for _, Descendant in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
			if Descendant:IsA("Motor6D") then
				local socket = Character:FindFirstChild(Descendant.Name)
				if not socket then
					socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
					socket.Name = Descendant.Name
				end
				local A0 = Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part0[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
				local A1 = Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."RigAttachment"] or Descendant.Part1[Descendant.Name.."Attachment"]
				socket.Attachment0 = A0
				socket.Attachment1 = A1
				socket.LimitsEnabled = true
				socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
				Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
					Descendant:Destroy()
				end)
			end
			if Descendant:IsA("BasePart") or Descendant:IsA("Decal") and Descendant.Transparency ~= 1 then
				Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
					local fade = TS:Create(Descendant,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9})
					fade:Play()
				end)
			end
		end
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if not Humanoid then
			Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid",10)
		end
		Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
	end)
end)

I died and became a statue… the constraints part1 and part0 are nil on client side only still

#5

I took a raw approach and scripted each and every BallSocketConstraint for my ragdoll effect…

Code 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
	local LeftWrist = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	LeftWrist.Name = "LeftWrist"
	LeftWrist.Attachment0 = Character.LeftLowerArm.LeftWristRigAttachment
	LeftWrist.Attachment1 = Character.LeftHand.LeftWristRigAttachment
	local LeftElbow = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	LeftElbow.Name = "LeftElbow"
	LeftElbow.Attachment0 = Character.LeftUpperArm.LeftElbowRigAttachment
	LeftElbow.Attachment1 = Character.LeftLowerArm.LeftElbowRigAttachment
	local LeftShoulder = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	LeftShoulder.Name = "LeftShoulder"
	LeftShoulder.Attachment0 = Character.UpperTorso.LeftShoulderRigAttachment
	LeftShoulder.Attachment1 = Character.LeftUpperArm.LeftShoulderRigAttachment
	local RightWrist = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	RightWrist.Name = "RightWrist"
	RightWrist.Attachment0 = Character.RightLowerArm.RightWristRigAttachment
	RightWrist.Attachment1 = Character.RightHand.RightWristRigAttachment
	local RightElbow = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	RightElbow.Name = "RightElbow"
	RightElbow.Attachment0 = Character.RightUpperArm.RightElbowRigAttachment
	RightElbow.Attachment1 = Character.RightLowerArm.RightElbowRigAttachment
	local RightShoulder = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	RightShoulder.Name = "RightShoulder"
	RightShoulder.Attachment0 = Character.UpperTorso.RightShoulderRigAttachment
	RightShoulder.Attachment1 = Character.RightUpperArm.RightShoulderRigAttachment
	local Waist = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	Waist.Name = "Waist"
	Waist.Attachment0 = Character.LowerTorso.WaistRigAttachment
	Waist.Attachment1 = Character.UpperTorso.WaistRigAttachment
	local LeftAnkle = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	LeftAnkle.Name = "LeftAnkle"
	LeftAnkle.Attachment0 = Character.LeftLowerLeg.LeftAnkleRigAttachment
	LeftAnkle.Attachment1 = Character.LeftFoot.LeftAnkleRigAttachment
	local LeftKnee = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	LeftKnee.Name = "LeftKnee"
	LeftKnee.Attachment0 = Character.LeftUpperLeg.LeftKneeRigAttachment
	LeftKnee.Attachment1 = Character.LeftLowerLeg.LeftKneeRigAttachment
	local LeftHip = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	LeftHip.Name = "LeftHip"
	LeftHip.Attachment0 = Character.LowerTorso.LeftHipRigAttachment
	LeftHip.Attachment1 = Character.LeftUpperLeg.LeftHipRigAttachment
	local RightAnkle = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	RightAnkle.Name = "RightAnkle"
	RightAnkle.Attachment0 = Character.RightLowerLeg.RightAnkleRigAttachment
	RightAnkle.Attachment1 = Character.RightFoot.RightAnkleRigAttachment
	local RightKnee = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	RightKnee.Name = "RightKnee"
	RightKnee.Attachment0 = Character.RightUpperLeg.RightKneeRigAttachment
	RightKnee.Attachment1 = Character.RightLowerLeg.RightKneeRigAttachment
	local RightHip = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	RightHip.Name = "RightHip"
	RightHip.Attachment0 = Character.LowerTorso.RightHipRigAttachment
	RightHip.Attachment1 = Character.RightUpperLeg.RightHipRigAttachment
	local Root = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	Root.Name = "Root"
	Root.Attachment0 = Character.HumanoidRootPart.RootRigAttachment
	Root.Attachment1 = Character.LowerTorso.RootRigAttachment
	local Neck = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint",Character)
	Neck.Name = "Neck"
	Neck.Attachment0 = Character.UpperTorso.NeckRigAttachment
	Neck.Attachment1 = Character.Head.NeckRigAttachment
end)

Which revealed an error right away of:

LeftLowerArm is not a valid member of Model “Workspace.LeechBurger”
Stack Begin
Script ‘Players.LeechBurger.PlayerScripts.LocalScript’, Line 6
Stack End

So~ from this, can I assume this is a character loading client side issue? Thus, now I have to check if the character has actually loaded – or rather have the individual parts loaded where I need Attachments from…

maybe a local RigPart = Character:WaitForChild("RigPart") will do?

#6

Your code worked for me like I have said before. But good luck.

#7

Yes, thanks for your help! I determined the cause and solution now so it all works fine again!! :partying_face:

In the end I had to script :WaitForChild() for each BasePart and Motor6D in the Character Model. :roll_eyes::persevere:

As the client (Me) – parts in the character model were not loaded yet when the serverscript tried to get Motor6D Part0 and Part1 for their attachments.
Hence, to the server for whatever means had my character model loaded and ran code successfully but it could not replicate the changes to my client since my character model wasn’t loaded completely for me. As a failsafe a local script is still necessary in this case to wait for instances.

Now if there’s a less lengthy simplified way to check from server if all descendants have loaded in Character Model on clients that would be great. Anyways, I was under the assumption that when CharacterAdded fires that meant the character model had loaded but in truth it seems it means the character is loading… :sweat_smile:
