Im trying to make a sound play when a ragdoll hits or collides with something for my ragdoll game. Any ways on hot to do it?

You can use .Touched events and connect it to play a sound.

#3 
local ragdoll = workspace:WaitForChild("Ragdoll") --change to name of ragdoll
local sound = workspace:WaitForChild("Sound") --change to name of sound

for i, part in pairs(ragdoll:GetDescendants()) do
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			sound:Play()
		end)
	end
end

Here’s a relatively simple template, it’ll connect every part of the ragdoll to a “Touched” event which when fired will execute a function which plays a sound (make sure you change the names of the sound and ragdoll and references if necessary).

#4

Is there a way for it to work with a player only when they are ragdolled?

#5

if Humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll then

Make sure “Humanoid” is correctly defined.

#6

When I use the script, it works but the sound glitches out.

#7

That’s because the “Touched” event is firing multiple times, add a debounce to prevent that:

local ragdoll = workspace:WaitForChild("Ragdoll") --change to name of ragdoll
local sound = workspace:WaitForChild("Sound") --change to name of sound
local debounce = false

for i, part in pairs(ragdoll:GetDescendants()) do
	if part:IsA("BasePart") then
		if debounce then
			return
		end
		debounce = true
		part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
			sound:Play()
		end)
		task.wait(3)
		debounce = false
	end
end

Change the time in seconds from “3” if necessary.

This script is from a free model I found on Roblox and it works well:

local air = false 
local imp = false


script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(h)
	if not h:IsDescendantOf(script.Parent.Parent) and air == true and imp == false and h and h.Transparency<1 and script.Parent.Velocity.Magnitude > 0.5 then
		air = false
		imp = true
		local sou = math.random(1, #script:GetChildren())
		local s = script["Impact"..sou]:clone()
		s.Parent = script.Parent
		s.Name = "Impact"
		game.Debris:AddItem(s, 3)
		s:Play()
	end	
end)

while true do
	wait()
	local ray = Ray.new(script.Parent.Position,Vector3.new(0,-2,0))
	local h,p = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray,script.Parent.Parent)
	if h then

	else
		air = true
		imp = false
	end
end

Put the impact sounds you’d like in the script and name them “Impact” with a count so for example:
“Impact1”
“Impact2”
“Impact3”
“Impact…”

Put the script inside of the limbs which you want to make a sound.
After that, you should be good to go!
