How to make ragdoll dummy not float?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a ragdoll dummy. I have a script that replaces the motor 6Ds in the dummy with ball sockets to make it ragdoll.

Here is the script:

local dummy = script.Parent
dummy.Humanoid.Health = 0
dummy.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 0
local d = dummy: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
-- credit to Fm_Trick for part of script

When I run the script the ragdoll dummy just starts floating up like it’s going to heaven or something.

How do I make it not do that?

Make sure the HumanoidStateType is set to “Physics” (in a local script)
Also once the player un ragdolls set the state type to “GettingUp”

local dummy = script.Parent
dummy.Humanoid.Health = 0
dummy.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 0
dummy.Humanoid.HumanoidStateType = Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead
local d = dummy: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
dummy.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.PlatformStanding)

Set the dummy’s humanoid state type to dead (when it is dead).
