How do i Create Ragdoll

I’m creating a game and I want to implement a ragdoll system. I managed to create a ragdoll, but I want it to clone the player character and spawn exactly where the player died.

The problem is, I keep getting Parent is nil errors. I’ve tried several approaches but I can’t figure out what’s going wrong.

Has anyone successfully cloned a character at the exact death position without running into parent issues? Any guidance would be really appreciated!

yo i ran into this exact thing before — it can be super annoying :sweat_smile:

basically, the “Parent is nil” thing usually happens when you try to set properties or weld stuff on a model before actually parenting it to the workspace. especially with cloned characters, stuff can get weird real fast if you don’t do it in the right order.

what worked for me was:

  1. clone the character
  2. set its PrimaryPart (if it doesn’t already have one)
  3. set the CFrame of the model using the HumanoidRootPart
  4. then parent it to workspace

something like this:

local ragdoll = player.Character:Clone()
ragdoll.Name = player.Name .. "_Ragdoll"
local hrp = ragdoll:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

if hrp then
    ragdoll:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(hrp.CFrame)
    ragdoll.Parent = workspace
else
    warn("No HumanoidRootPart found")
end

also make sure you’re disabling/removing the humanoid in the clone (or switching it to ragdoll joints) after cloning so it doesn’t get up and walk like nothing happened lol

Have you tried setting the “Archivable” property to true, before cloning the player’s character? Players’ characters have this property on false default.

before cloning the character, make it archivable, and maybe anchor all of its descendants, then wait a bit and unanchor the clone and it may be good
