Humanoid.Died won't fire when Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath is disabled?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I’m not sure if this is a bug, but I made a script where stuff is supposed to happen when player dies. Every descendant of the character must be anchored when player dies. I tried to do that by doing this:

Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
for i, v in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") or v:IsA("MeshPart") then
v.Anchored = true
end
end
end)

I mean it does what i ask for, but it doesn’t do it in real time.
Then I found BreakJointsOnDeath.
I set it to false, but now Humanoid.Died won’t fire until the player is moved.

Here’s a video of what I’m experiencing:

Here’s the code also:

	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		if Humanoid then
			Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
			Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
				Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0.5),0,0)
				local Dust = Lighting:WaitForChild("Assets"):WaitForChild("Death"):WaitForChild("Dust"):Clone()
				Dust.Parent = Character
				Dust.CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
				local DustSFX = Lighting:WaitForChild("Assets"):WaitForChild("Death"):WaitForChild("DustSFX"):Clone()
				DustSFX.Parent = Character
				DustSFX:Play()
				print("k")
				for i, v in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
					if v:IsA("Part") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") then
						v.Anchored = true
						game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(v, TweenInfo.new(DustSFX.TimeLength), {Transparency = 1}):Play()
					elseif v:IsA("Decal") then
						game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(v, TweenInfo.new(DustSFX.TimeLength), {Transparency = 1}):Play()
					end
				end
				Dust.Floaters.Rate = 0
				wait(1.5)
				local Soul = Lighting:WaitForChild("Assets"):WaitForChild("Death"):WaitForChild("Soul"):Clone()
				Soul.Parent = Character
				Soul.CFrame = Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {Transparency = 0,CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(0.5,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.1)
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(-1,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.1)
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(1,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.1)
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(-1,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.1)
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(1,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.1)
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(-1,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.1)
				game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(Soul, TweenInfo.new(0.1), {CFrame = Soul.CFrame * CFrame.new(0.5,0,0)}):Play()
				wait(0.11)
				local BrokenSoul = Lighting:WaitForChild("Assets"):WaitForChild("Death"):WaitForChild("BrokenSoul"):Clone()
				BrokenSoul.Parent = Character
				BrokenSoul.Main.Anchored = false
				BrokenSoul.Main.CFrame = Soul.CFrame
				BrokenSoul.Main.Anchored = true
				Soul:Destroy()
				local SoulBreakSFX = Lighting:WaitForChild("Assets"):WaitForChild("Death"):WaitForChild("SoulBreakSFX"):Clone()
				SoulBreakSFX.Parent = Character
				SoulBreakSFX:Play()
				wait(1)
				for i, v in pairs(BrokenSoul:GetDescendants()) do
					if v:IsA("Motor6D") then
						v:Destroy()
					end
				end
				for i, v in pairs(BrokenSoul:GetChildren()) do
					if v:IsA("Part") then
						v.Anchored = false
						v.CanCollide = false
						v.Velocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-20,20),20,math.random(-20,20))
						v.RotVelocity = Vector3.new(math.random(-20,20),20,math.random(-20,20))
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end)

(I know the code is inefficient right now, I just made it quickly to test if it works.)

:heart: Any help is appreciated!

humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false prevents Anchored characters from dying

Quick question:
Does the Died event fire on the client?

If it works on the client, but not the server, then we have the same issue.
I discovered this 2 months ago, filed a bug report, and it hasnt been fixed yet.

Its really frustrating to work with.

Current workarounds:

  • With Died event firing on client, fire a remote that kills the player on the server.
  • Destroy Neck on the client after client death

I’m sorry for the late response, but yes. The player seems dead on the client but not on the server.
Thanks for the response though.

Bumping this since it’s been 4 years and it still has not been fixed. If you disable breakjointsondeath and reset, your health will reach 0 on the client but on the server it’s going to be the same as before until your character somehow moves on the client.
