Help with 'F to ragdoll'

tweenAll · September 8, 2021, 5:00am

I’m testing with ragdolls right now and making an ‘F to ragdoll’ script (I haven’t made the unragdoll part yet). I got the ragdoll on death script and most of the control script from a youtube video. And I have a problem that I don’t know how to fix or troubleshoot.

When I press F it goes into a weird state that I can still control and its hovering off the ground slightly, but the ragdoll on death works greatly. This problem also happens with R6 aswell. Here are the scripts and explorer tab:

Local Script (Controller)

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local pchar = plr.Character
local deb = false
local rag = false
local ron = game.ReplicatedStorage.RagdollC.RagOn
local rof = game.ReplicatedStorage.RagdollC.RagOff

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp)
	if inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		if rag == false then
			if deb == false then
				rag = true
				deb = true
				ron:FireServer()
			end
		end
		if rag == false then
			if deb == false then
				rag = false 
				deb = true
				rof:FireServer()
			end
		end
		wait(.5)
		deb = false
	end
end)

Server Script (ragdoller)

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local ragOn = game.ReplicatedStorage.RagdollC.RagOn
local ragOff = game.ReplicatedStorage.RagdollC.RagOff
local ragdolled = false

humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false


-- die ragdoll
humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
	for i,joint in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
		if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local soc = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local a0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			a0.Parent = joint.Part0
			a1.Parent = joint.Part1
			soc.Parent = joint.Parent
			soc.Attachment0 = a0
			soc.Attachment1 = a1
			a0.CFrame = joint.C0
			a1.CFrame = joint.C1
			soc.LimitsEnabled = true
			soc.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
			joint:Destroy()
		end
	end
end)

-- f to ragdoll
ragOn.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local pchar = plr.Character
	local cfolder = Instance.new("Folder", game.ServerStorage)
	cfolder.Name = (plr.Name .. "'s Joints")
	for i,joint in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
		if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local soc = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local a0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			local jclone = joint:Clone()
			jclone.Parent = cfolder
			print("Cloned")
			a0.Parent = joint.Part0
			a1.Parent = joint.Part1
			soc.Parent = joint.Parent
			soc.Attachment0 = a0
			soc.Attachment1 = a1
			a0.CFrame = joint.C0
			a1.CFrame = joint.C1
			soc.LimitsEnabled = true
			soc.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
			joint:Destroy()
			ragdolled = true
		end
	end
end)

Make a script and put it in serverscript service:

		end

			if v.ClassName == "Motor6D" then

end)

Now put this local script in ReplicatedFirst:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

Ragdolling = false

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
		Ragdolling = not Ragdolling
		if Ragdolling == false then
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Head
		elseif Ragdolling == true then
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
		end
		game.ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("Ragdoll"):FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").RigType,Ragdolling)
	end
end)

This works with R15 kinda, the limbs spin around fastly and it doesn’t work at all in R6. Thanks for helping though

Oh, I will get back to you with a fixed script if i can.

Hi! I was experimenting with the platform stand bool in the humanoid and the ragdoll works as intended for a couple seconds after disabling the property, Is there a way to lock this state while ragdolled?

Exitedsnow311 · September 8, 2021, 5:29am

I tried doing what you did but what i got was just a frozen ragdoll so i dont really know

(if i missed something in your code, i’m on mobile)

You should set the HumanoidState to Physics for it to be uncontrollable after ragdoll, and set it to GettingUp to unragdoll.

Edit 1: PlatformStand is only an indicator for a specific HumanoidStateType. It cannot be changed as far as i know.

I would recommend checking the state beforehand with Humanoid:GetState() and setting it with Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics). One of theese is client sided.

State types here

Humanoid (look at functions, might seem a lot but it’s not)

Edit 2: I saw you destroying joints. There is a better way.

Motor6D has an Active value. You can just cycle trough and disable/enable them. And this goes for all joints.

You can just create BallInSocket joints to enable/disable too. There are already attachment points on the body. For instance: The LeftHand has a LeftGrip and a LeftWrist attachment. LeftUpperArm has LeftWrist and LeftElbow??? I think?. and so on. (You see how theese can be used.

Edit 3: I should clarify the first point. The LowerTorso is attached to the HumanoidRootPart. And the HumanoidRootPart just… floats above ground and moves accordingly if the HumanoidStateType allows it. HumanoidStateType.Physics disables this behaviour.

Aka: ragdoll-ish, “fall over like a plank” type beat. This is where your code should step in.

If i go home from school i'll help more. Feel free to start a chat.

~~This will be edited in the future. Come back in 15-30m intervals please.~~

I was here once before, and just want to help.
