Custom Death Animation flopping around for other players only

Help and Feedback Art Design Support
#1

I am trying to make a death animation and on my screen it looks fine but on other players screens I flop around. The given script is a LocalScript in StarterCharacterScripts.

I have tried anchoring the player on the server and It didn’t make a difference. I have also tried putting a BodyGyro in the HumanoidRootPart with all of it’s MaxTorque vectors set to 0 as well as trying to animate it without anchoring the HumanoidRootPart. I have tested this in-game and in studio.

On the server, it looks the same as Player2 in the video.

I have a Humanoid in StarterPlayer with BreakJointsOnDeath set to false.

The gray screen effect you see is apart of another script, don’t pay any mind.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local earRinging = script:WaitForChild("EarRinging")
local animID = script:WaitForChild("fallAnim")

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local Anim = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animID)

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local remoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("deathAnim")
local optionalRedScreen = true
local dead = false

local camInfo = TweenInfo.new(5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local redInfo = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

function setCollisionGroup(fCharacter, groupName)
	for i, v in pairs(fCharacter:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			v.CollisionGroup = "deathFallOver"
		end
	end
end

function onHealthChanged(health)
	if health <= 0 and not dead then
		dead = true

		local redTintEffect = Lighting:WaitForChild("RedTintEffect")
		local cameraTween = TweenService:Create(cam, camInfo, {FieldOfView = 120})
		local redTween = TweenService:Create(redTintEffect, redInfo, {TintColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 4)})

		character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
		setCollisionGroup(character, "deathFallOver")

		if optionalRedScreen then
			redTween:Play()
		end

		earRinging:Play()

		Anim:Play()

		cameraTween:Play()

		task.wait(Anim.Length - 0.3)

		cameraTween:Cancel()
		redTween:Cancel()

		character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
		setCollisionGroup(character, "Default")
		earRinging:Stop()

		remoteEvent:FireServer(player)
	end
end

humanoid.HealthChanged:Connect(onHealthChanged)

The RemoteEvent used in the script Loads the players character on the server and deathFallOver has Default to false on CollisionGroups.
