Flinging problem with Ragdoll

FireyMcBlox · March 25, 2020, 7:46am

For as long as this ragdoll script of mine had been created, I’ve always had a flinging problem. Randomly, whenever you bumped into another character in my games including ragdoll, you would always be flung. I know this only occurs because of the ragdoll because when it was disabled, no fling occured.

I have no idea why this is happening. Maybe it is outdated now, or I’m doing something wrong?

Maybe it’s what I do in the script itself.

local function Glue(par, c0, c1, part0, part1, nam)
	local glue = Instance.new("Glue")
	glue.Name = nam
	glue.C0 = c0
	glue.C1 = c1
	glue.Part0 = part0
	glue.Part1 = part1
	glue.Parent = par
end

local function Joint(par, c0, c1, part0, part1, nam)
	local motor = Instance.new("Motor6D")
	motor.Name = nam
	motor.C0 = c0
	motor.C1 = c1
	motor.Part0 = part0
	motor.Part1 = part1
	motor.Parent = par
end

local function Touch(par, limb, cframe)
	local pr = Instance.new("Part")
	pr.Name = "touchy"
	pr.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
	pr.Transparency = 1
	pr.CustomPhysicalProperties = PhysicalProperties.new(.55, .3, .5)
	pr.CanCollide = true
	pr.Anchored = false
	pr.Parent = par

	local w = Instance.new("Weld")
	w.Part0 = pr
	w.Part1 = limb
	w.C0 = cframe
	w.Parent = pr
end

Please, tell me what I’m doing wrong. This is a crucial point of my game, as ragdoll is used almost everytime an action is performed.

local bg = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
bg.P = 1000000
bg.D = 500
bg.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, 0, math.huge)
bg.Parent = root
game.Debris:AddItem(bg, .1)

Why is the max torque infinite? Maybe that is what causes flings?

FireyMcBlox · March 25, 2020, 8:04am

That’s actually what I use to prevent the character from just staying on the ground after a ragdoll is undone. They are stuck on the ground momentarily, and I have to use that to make that not happen.

THEsuperTERROR · March 25, 2020, 8:05am

Ah, okay. Maybe you could add a body position that lifts the character up a bit, so that the gyro doesn’t have to be as strong?

FireyMcBlox · March 25, 2020, 8:08am

Maybe, but that won’t fix my initial problem.

I’ve remade your script and it seems to work fine.

Thanks. I’ll test this out later with a friend!

FireyMcBlox · March 25, 2020, 12:07pm

Okay, I have tested it with a friend, and I am pleased at your corrections of my script. Characters now no longer fling across the map when colliding with eachother. However, I still have found a small problem. I am not trying to be picky, just pointing it out.

In this gif here, I use a move that ragdolls a player. After he gets up and touches me, I slightly go into the air, but come back down shortly after.

This could be a potential problem due to fall damage being in my game.

THEsuperTERROR · March 25, 2020, 12:13pm

Ah, ok.

I just did some improvements and edits that seemed alrighty to me;
It may be the duration of the body forces being in the HumanoidRootPart, or one of your scripts is doing something unexpected. (It’s probably just my aproach but i don’t have anyone to test on)

FireyMcBlox · March 25, 2020, 12:39pm

I see. Well, if you get someone to test it on, please, inform me of your findings.

It said Fire Not Apart of RemoteEvent

What did I do wrong

THEsuperTERROR · October 3, 2020, 10:24pm

Oh, the code i made was based off of BindableEvents, those make use of :Fire and .Event

Try this if you are using RemoteEvents;

Ragdollify:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayers()[1])
wait(5)
Unragdollify:FireClient(game.Players:GetPlayers()[1])
