I love this! 
I’m wondering how does the character fall? Is it pushed when it dies or is it some sort of an animation?

Biggest benefit: Ragdolls can easily keep their hats. And hair.
There’s a small performance benefit to this too. No more scanning the list of joints for every avatar part every frame looking for joints to break. Now you can do it once and be done.

Yes! I’ve been excited for this to be enabled!

Sounds like my kind of property!
On a serious note, this is nice because now I don’t have to clone their character to add death affects.

This is awesome! A simple ragdoll script is as easy as this now:
local died
died = character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
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)
Previously you had to do a lot of welding for accessories, etc.

Time to make an entire zombie game based on this feature.

What scary words. Okay, RespawnTime is next pls.
In other news, great property. At least we don’t have to hack joints to remain anymore, or anything. Easy ragdolls.

Here is a rag doll script I just made. It lets you customize which constraint to use between joints and it also lets you customize the properties of each constraint. Unfortunately, it breaks re-spawning and I have no idea why. Maybe some one knows? Anyways, have fun:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local JOINT_CONFIGURATION = {
LeftAnkle = {
"Hinge";
Properties = {
LimitsEnabled = true;
UpperAngle = 15;
LowerAngle = -45;
};
};
RightAnkle = {
"Hinge";
Properties = {
LimitsEnabled = true;
UpperAngle = 15;
LowerAngle = -45;
};
};
LeftKnee = {
"Hinge";
Properties = {
LimitsEnabled = true;
UpperAngle = 0;
LowerAngle = -75;
};
};
RightKnee = {
"Hinge";
Properties = {
LimitsEnabled = true;
UpperAngle = 0;
LowerAngle = -75;
};
};
LeftHip = {"BallSocket"};
RightHip = {"BallSocket"};
Waist = {"BallSocket"};
LeftShoulder = {"BallSocket"};
RightShoulder = {"BallSocket"};
LeftElbow = {"BallSocket"};
RightElbow = {"BallSocket"};
LeftWrist = {
"Hinge";
Properties = {
LimitsEnabled = true;
UpperAngle = 0;
LowerAngle = 0;
};
};
RightWrist = {
"Hinge";
Properties = {
LimitsEnabled = true;
UpperAngle = 0;
LowerAngle = 0;
};
};
Neck = {"BallSocket"};
}
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function(humanoid)
character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
character.HumanoidRootPart.CanCollide = false
character.HumanoidRootPart:BreakJoints()
for _,desc in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if (desc:IsA("Motor6D") and JOINT_CONFIGURATION[desc.Name]) then
local Joint = Instance.new(JOINT_CONFIGURATION[desc.Name][1] .. "Constraint")
local Attachment0 = desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(desc.Name .. "Attachment") or desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(desc.Name .. "RigAttachment")
local Attachment1 = desc.Part0:FindFirstChild(desc.Name .. "Attachment") or desc.Part0:FindFirstChild(desc.Name .. "RigAttachment")
if (JOINT_CONFIGURATION[desc.Name].Properties) then
for property,value in pairs(JOINT_CONFIGURATION[desc.Name].Properties) do
Joint[property] = value
end
end
if (Attachment0 and Attachment1) then
Joint.Attachment0 = Attachment0
Joint.Attachment1 = Attachment1
Joint.Parent = desc.Parent
desc:Destroy()
end
elseif (desc:IsA("Attachment")) then
desc.Axis = Vector3.new(0, 1, 0)
desc.SecondaryAxis = Vector3.new(0, 0, 1)
desc.Rotation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
end
end
end)
end)

I am so excited to add ragdoll constraints to every single one of my custom characters. I can’t wait to see birds flopping out of the sky.

Great feature, smoother performance and easier to manage rag doll scripts. Can’t wait to use this in one of my projects. The comedic flopping effect is also a welcomed bonus.

Just add a wait(5) and :LoadCharacter()
5 Likes
This is the obvious solution. I mean I would personally do wait(game:GetService(“Players”).RespawnTime) but whatever. I guess my question was why does it break re-spawning in the first place.

It seems like Humanoid :MoveTo() continues to function still, however it just sorta walks on its back and doesn’t move much other than flail around… fix?
