Making a ragdoll script. I have a server script looking for 2 events, ragdoll and unragdoll. I have them being called in a localscript. This isnt working, Im not getting any errors except the prints not showing up. Any help?

Server Script

--Variables--
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RagdollEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.Ragdoll
local UnRagdollEvent = RagdollEvent.Parent.UnRagdoll
local throw = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").RemoteEvents.throw
--Ragdoll script--
RagdollEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	for i,v in pairs(player:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("Motor6D") and v.Parent.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
			local Socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			a1.Parent = v.Part0
			a2.Parent = v.Part1
			Socket.Parent = v.Parent
			Socket.Attachment0 = a1
			Socket.Attachment1 = a2
			a1.CFrame = v.C0
			a2.CFrame = v.C1
			Socket.LimitsEnabled = true
			Socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	player.Humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
	player.Character.Humanoid.Sit = true
	print("Ragdolled")
end)
--Unragdoll script--
UnRagdollEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)

	for i,v in pairs(player:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
			v.UpperAngle = 0
			v.TwistUpperAngle = 0
			v.TwistLowerAngle = 0
			local Joints = Instance.new("Motor6D",v.Parent)
			Joints.Part0 = v.Attachment0.Parent
			Joints.Part1 = v.Attachment1.Parent
			Joints.C0 = v.Attachment0.CFrame
			Joints.C1 = v.Attachment1.CFrame
			v:Destroy()
		end
	end
	player.Character.Humanoid.Sit = false
	print("Unragdolled")
end)

Local Script

throw.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() --this is being called from another client
	local player = Players.LocalPlayer

			RemoteEvents.Ragdoll:FireServer(player)

			RemoteEvents.UnRagdoll:FireServer(player)

end)

I believe that in the local script that there is an extra end, unless there are other things that aren’t being shown.

throw.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() --this is being called from another client
	local player = Players.LocalPlayer

			RemoteEvents.Ragdoll:FireServer(player)

			RemoteEvents.UnRagdoll:FireServer(player)

end)

To add, are you sure that anything that is inside the local script is true if it’s under a logic statement?

In that case, your if-statements aren’t true. It won’t reach that line if that’s the case. Could you please show that part of the script?

throw.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local player = Players.LocalPlayer
	local HRP = player.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	
		if not Ragdoll then
			CAS:BindAction( --no movement
				FreezeAction,
				function()
					return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
				end,
				false,
				unpack(Enum.PlayerActions:GetEnumItems())
		)
		
			local targetanim = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(Target)
			targetanim:Play()
		
			wait(targetanim.length)
		
			RemoteEvents.Ragdoll:FireServer(player)
			
		    Ragdoll = true
		
			local z = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", player.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart"))
			z.MaxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge)
			z.Velocity = -HRP.CFrame.LookVector*75 + Vector3.new(0,50,0)
			wait(0.4)--duration
		    z:Destroy()
		
			wait(3)
		
			RemoteEvents.UnRagdoll:FireServer(player)
		
			CAS:UnbindAction(FreezeAction)--you can move now
			
			wait(0.1)--delay
			Ragdoll = false
	end
end)

Are you sure this part is false? Currently, it is true, and everything inside of it won’t be reached.

It sets false at the beginning of the script, i just sent everything in the function. Everything is properly initialized n stuffs. Looking at it again I mustve screwed with some instantiation with the remote events. This is what I got from the top if this looks sketch to you :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RemoteEvents = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents
local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local FreezeAction = "freezeMovement"
local throw = RemoteEvents.throw
Ragdoll = false

@WooleyWool
I changed

RemoteEvents.Ragdoll:FireServer(player) & RemoteEvents.UnRagdoll:FireServer(player)

to waitforchilds for debug. I got this:

You are trying to find false in remote events, which doesn’t exist.

I just ended up removing the if statement, it ended up being redundant, Im not getting the issue anymore however

ragdoll still isnt working
I guess Ill have to debug the heck out of this one, if youd like to help more that would be cool but I can handle most of this on my own :stuck_out_tongue:
