Custom rig with BreakJointsOnDeath set to false doesn’t die properly

[MatkeFTW (Matke)]

Hello,

I am having issues with custom rigs and BreakJointsOnDeath.
When I set BreakJointsOnDeath to false, my character doesn’t die/reset the way they should.

For example, when I reset, my character somewhat dies on the client (their health is set to 0 and they start healing) while on the server they are still alive.

I’ve seen a couple of DevForum posts, however setting the character’s health on the server also produces the same issue. The character is somewhat dead on the server (and is healing) while on the client they are alive.

I’ve also noticed that when I move my character (via shift-lock on client or while in the server-view) the character suddenly registers that death.

Now, I’ve found some posts regarding this whole thing, however, everything that I’ve tried doesn’t really help.

Player characters with BreakJointsOnDeath disabled don't die while standing on unanchored BaseParts

This has been mentioned before, but the original topic didn’t get enough attention. Hopefully this one might do. This bug occurs when you reset through the menu with BreakJointsOnDeath set to false, while standing on any BasePart that is unanchored. I mainly used a chassis model of mine to reproduce the bug, since that’s how I first found it. But i’ve tried with other types of parts and got it to happen too, both in studio and the game client.

BreakJointsOnDeath does not kill player?

I disabled the BreakJointsOnDeath on my players humanoid, but when my player has 0 health, humanoid state is RunningNoPhysics. I try to force it to be Died state, still doesn’t work. I have a custom character loading script and since I made the Death animation script, the player does not respawn, because humanoid.Died() does not get called. How do I fix this problem?

Humanoid cannot die when the HumanoidRootPart is anchored and BreakJointsOnDeath is false

Reproduction Steps 1. Open an empty baseplate template in Roblox Studio 2. Start Play Solo with character 3. Using explorer, anchor your HumanoidRootPart 4. Using explorer, set Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath to false 5. Try and reset your character. Expected Behavior I expect the humanoid health to be set to 0, the Died event to fire, and then the player to respawn. None of these things happen, except on the client. For whatever reason the client receives the death event and client heal…

I am having suspicions on the HumanoidRootPart, but I am not entirely sure, as the 3rd link mentions anchoring the HumanoidRootPart, however I don’t have it anchored or welded to anything in my case.

So, has anybody else experienced this before, do you have any suggestions on what to do or do you have an unknown solution to this problem?
