Help with a ragdoll script i'm working on

[bullettrain5]

right now i’m working on making a ragdoll on hit script, in a 1/4 chance.

it works for the majority of the features i was hoping for! just a few bugs… and by a few i mean a lot.

i wanted to make a ragdoll on hit so i followed a tutorial and did some studies into it,

and ended up wtih a script looking like this:

Script

local tool = script.Parent.Parent
local canDamage = false
local debounce = false
local timer = true
local HitBox = script.Parent

local function onTouch(HitBox)
	local humanoid = HitBox.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	if not humanoid then 
		return 
	end

	if humanoid.Parent ~= HitBox.Parent.Parent and canDamage and debounce then 
		humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
		wait(0.10)
		if debounce then
			local chance = math.random(1,4)
			local character = humanoid.Parent
			if chance == 1 and debounce then 
				humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
				for index,joint in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
					if joint:IsA('Motor6D') then
						local socket = Instance.new('BallSocketConstraint')
						local a1 = Instance.new('Attachment')
						local a2 = Instance.new('Attachment')
						a1.Parent = joint.Part0
						a2.Parent = joint.Part1
						socket.Parent = joint.Parent
						socket.Attachment0 = a1
						socket.Attachment1 = a2
						a1.CFrame = joint.C0
						a2.CFrame = joint.C1
						socket.LimitsEnabled = true
						socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
						character:BreakJoints()
						wait(3)
						character:MakeJoints()
					debounce = false
			end
		end
	end
		else
			print("UnLucky!")
			debounce = false
			return
		end
	end
	canDamage = false
end

local function slash()
	wait(0.5)
	if timer == true then
		local str = Instance.new("StringValue")
		str.Value = "Slash" 
		str.Parent = tool
		canDamage = true
		debounce = true
		timer = false	
		if timer == false then
			wait(0.3)
			timer = true
		end
	end
end

tool.Activated:Connect(slash)
tool.HitBox.Touched:Connect(onTouch)

although this is what happens:

and i want the player to not die, simply ragdoll and then recover after 3 seconds.

any help?

thanks for reading

Hey there, I do have a suggestion that might involve you rewriting the whole script but here:

Instead of the script making the joints after being hit, make a script that will already do the joints and attachments when the player joins or respawns, maybe put it startercharacterscripts.

How will they go limp?
Find a way to do it with the sit option in the humanoid because the body technically goes limp when sit is active.

Hope this gives you an idea.

so just make something in starter character scripts that just runs on player join, and inserts the joints inside of them

then making the character sit instead of running the ragdoll script in there?
