Change humanoid state in server script

[IsDatYoMama10 (TheCashConnoisseur)]

Im not sure if this is a problem or a feature but I’ve tried changing the humanoid state with the Humanoid:ChangeState() method in a script that I’m using. More specifically Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics) only for it to do nothing. I only got the method to work in a LocalScript and wanted to know if it was a bug or a feature. If it is a feature, are there any alternatives to this or any other way to use the method in a server script?

Have you tried this?

How would I change the state of a dummy

I have not found a Humanoid:SetState() method, so I am assuming you are referring to ChangeState. Afaik, this method does work on the server. You just have to set the network ownership of the dummy to the server, or nil. Since the character is an assembly, you can set the network ownership of the HumanoidRootPart for it to work. local dummy = workspace.Proligant local humanoid = dummy.Humanoid dummy.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil) -- Gives server network ownership -- I used this to…

You can, but you need to set network owner to nil for it to be work.

I added the method into my code but It doesn’t transfer ownership. This is the bit of my script its in:

local humanoidRootPart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
		
	
humanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)

if not humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics then
   print("Changed State")
	humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
end

@How would I change the state of a dummy

SetNetworkOwner

Sorry for late reply. I ran into a similar issue. I solved this by adding a task.wait() after humanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil), then it worked for me.
