So, I’m making a game similar to slap battles, but my ragdoll script isn’t turning out how I want it to. All it does is makes the dummy flop on the floor then stand back up.
Currently:
What I want to achieve: (older build that got deleted due to other studio members)

P.S: What’s weird is, when I wait a few minutes, it suddenly works no problem.
If you’re doing the ragdolling on the client, then it’ll require you to have network ownership of the other character (which is impossible on other players)
What you can do is a remote event that when the local script clicks, the remote event fires, and the server handles the cooldowns (to prevent exploiters firing the remote event constantly), the damage, and the ragdolling
Also just a quick tip:
Instead of
rARM.Parent = character
lARM.Parent = character
rLEG.Parent = character
lLEG.Parent = character
you can do
for _, arm in {rARM, lARM, rLEG, lLEG} do
arm.Parent = character
end
and for other parts, you could use a table
(i’m just assuming the ragdolling is handled on the client)
Can you try this script and tell me if it works out? If not can you show the output given
local ragdoll = {}
function ragdoll.Start(character)
-- Ensure character is valid and not already ragdolling
if not character or not character:FindFirstChild("Values") then
print("Ragdoll Start: Invalid character or missing Values")
