Module Script bug

[hours2]

So basically, I’m trying to create a ragdoll script that takes in a character parameter to rag doll a character. However, when I pass a character into the function I get an error.

I tried to print out the parameter and It simply prints the function names.

This is my module script code:

-- RAGDOLL SCRIPT

local Ragdoller = {}

function Ragdoller.Start(character)
	print(character) --prints function names
	print(character.Ragdoll) --prints nil
	print(character.Ragdoll.Value) -throws error
	--if character.Ragdoll.Value then return end
	character.Ragdoll.Value = true
	for i, joint in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local a0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
			a0.Parent = joint.Part0
			a1.Parent = joint.Part1
			socket.Parent = joint.Parent
			socket.Attachment0 = a0
			socket.Attachment1 = a1
			a0.CFrame = joint.C0
			a1.CFrame = joint.C1
			socket.LimitsEnabled = true
			socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true

			joint.Enabled = false
		end
	end

	character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
	character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0

	character.Humanoid.PlatformStand = true

	character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
end

function Ragdoller.Stop(character)
	local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
	local hum = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	hum.PlatformStand = false

	for i, joint in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if joint:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
			joint:Destroy()
		end

		if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
			joint.Enabled = true
		end
	end

	character.Ragdoll.Value = false

	hum:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)

	hum.WalkSpeed = 16
	hum.JumpPower = 50

	hum.AutoRotate = true
end

return Ragdoller

this is the code where I run the module:

local enemy = getAttackRange(character)
		if enemy then
			enemy.Humanoid:TakeDamage(punchDamage)
			--Knockback(enemy, character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector, 25, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, 1)
			ragdoller:Start(enemy.Humanoid)
			task.wait(1)
			ragdoller:Stop(enemy)
		end

what am I doing wrong? please help

[SeargentAUS (Seargent)]

ragdoller:Start(enemy.Humanoid)

function Ragdoller.Start(character)

The simplest way to resolve the issue (I think) is to just stick to either .Start or :Start, and not mix and match it for the same function.

So basically replace line 5 of the module with

function Ragdoller:Start(character)

and line 38 with

function Ragdoller:Stop(character)
