How to go about making a ragdoll NPC?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello Developers,

I was recently working on a meme-fighting game with ragdolls. The thing is that every time I want to test on a another player (studio local servers), it takes a whole lot of time. So I wanted to create an NPC which had the same capabilities. I’m currently using an Open Source resource for my ragdoll.

IMPORTANT: Ragdoll does work on other players.

Here’s the scripts:

ServerScriptService:

--[[
	Put this script in ServerScriptService.
]]--

local module = require(script.ModuleScript)

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		-- Setup ragdoll
		local clones = {}
		for i, v in pairs(script.RagdollParts:GetChildren()) do
			clones[v.Name] = v:Clone()
		end

		for i, v in pairs(clones) do
			if v:IsA("Attachment") then
				v.Parent = char[v:GetAttribute("Parent")]

			elseif v:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
				v.Parent = char.Torso
				v.Attachment0 = clones[v:GetAttribute("0")]
				v.Attachment1 = clones[v:GetAttribute("1")]

			else
				v.Part0 = char.HumanoidRootPart
				v.Part1 = char.Torso
				v.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart
			end
		end
		
		-- Ragdoll trigger
		local trigger = Instance.new("BoolValue")
		trigger.Name = "RagdollTrigger"
		trigger.Parent = char
		
		trigger.Changed:Connect(function(bool)
			if bool then
				module:Ragdoll(char)
			else
				module:Unragdoll(char)
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Module Scripts inside the above script:

local module = {}

local PhysicsService = game:GetService("PhysicsService")

function module:Ragdoll(char)
	local hrp = char.HumanoidRootPart
	local humanoid = char.Humanoid
	local weld = hrp.RagdollWeld

	weld.Enabled = true
	hrp.CanCollide = false
	humanoid.AutoRotate = false
	humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
	for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(v, "Ragdoll")

		elseif v:IsA("Motor6D") then
			v.Enabled = false

		elseif v:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
			v.Enabled = true
		end
	end
end

function module:Unragdoll(char)
	local hrp = char.HumanoidRootPart
	local humanoid = char.Humanoid
	local weld = hrp.RagdollWeld

	weld.Enabled = false
	hrp.CanCollide = true
	humanoid.AutoRotate = true
	humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
	for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") then
			PhysicsService:SetPartCollisionGroup(v, "Default")

		elseif v:IsA("Motor6D") then
			v.Enabled = true

		elseif v:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
			v.Enabled = false
		end
	end
end

return module

Localscript inside NPC:



local char = script.Parent
local ragollTrigger = char:WaitForChild("RagdollTrigger")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

-- Makes hands interact with head better
local head = char:WaitForChild("Head")
head.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
head.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)

ragollTrigger.Changed:Connect(function(bool)
	if bool then
		humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
	else
		humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
	end
end)

Any help is GREATLY appreciated,

Need help with a ragdoll script
#2

I don’t really get what your trying to say here, are you saying that only for the NPC the ragdoll does not work?

#3

So what I’m trying to say here is that the ragdoll works on other players, but not NPCs.

Yes, only for the NPC the ragdoll doesn’t work.

#4

Nothing in the script provided under that would work because your not placing it inside the npc but rather if I am correct the game is waiting for a player.

#5

I changed the code and it’s location, Sorry for the miscommunication.

#6

I’ve figured out a way by contacting the module owner himself.
Thanks for replying to this topic!

#7

How did you fix this? I need to know how to fix it too

#8

Uh, You need to first clarify what module you are using.

Are using this module?

If you are, just insert this script inside the NPC:

require(game.ServerScriptService.R6Ragdoll.ModuleScript):Setup(script.Parent)

Make sure you have the latest version, Here’s the link to it:

Thank you, I got it to work after a while.

When the npc dies and the ragdoll happens, the npc just flies away?
