How ragdoll player's clone?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m currently trying to make a script where a corpse would spawn where the player is after the player dies. The script is supposed to clone the player’s character and ragdoll the clone when the player dies.

This is a ServerScript in ServerScriptStorage:

function RagdollCharacter(character)
	character.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead)
	local d = character:GetDescendants()
	for i=1,#d do
		local desc = d[i]
		if desc:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local part0 = desc.Part0
			local joint_name = desc.Name
			local attachment0 = desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."Attachment") or desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."RigAttachment")
			local attachment1 = part0:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."Attachment") or part0:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."RigAttachment")
			if attachment0 and attachment1 then
				socket.Attachment0, socket.Attachment1 = attachment0, attachment1
				socket.Parent = desc.Parent
				desc:Destroy()
			end	
		end
	end
end

function ClonePlayerCharacter(character)
	character.Archivable = true
	local corpse = character:Clone()
	corpse.Parent = game.Workspace
	return corpse
end

function GenerateCorpseByCloningPlayerCharacter(character)
	local corpse = ClonePlayerCharacter(character)
	print(corpse.Name)
	RagdollCharacter(corpse)
end

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
	p.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		character.Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
		character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			
			GenerateCorpseByCloningPlayerCharacter(character)
		end)
	end)
end)

Unfortunately, the clone won’t ragdoll unless I switch the mode to server.

Notice how the corpse is just rigid after the player dies but when the roblox studios mode is switched to server the corpse becomes ragdolled. How do I make the ragdoll be seen locally also?

Update:

The part of the script that ragdolls the corpse does it by deleting Motor6Ds and adding ball sockets in its place.

I just found out that the Motor6Ds are not deleting locally and are only deleting on the server’s side which is why the corpse is only ragdolling on the server-side. (This might be helpful info but I’m still not sure how to use this info to solve the problem)

Add a ragdoll to this script

Are you performing this on the server or locally?
