I made an R15 ragdoll free model back in 2016. It has not been updated this year, but it has become extremely unstable. I’m not sure how recent the issue is because I haven’t used it in a while, but @Simbuilder or @Klocko might because they use it in their games. All issues demonstrated below can be reproduced by resetting in:
- A blank baseplate with the ragdoll model inserted
- My script-lite test place
- Klocko’s MoCap demo place
I wasn’t able to reproduce it in SimBuilder’s VehicleSimulator (press q to ragdoll). I tried ragdolling without killing the player and without changing any NetworkOwnership, but the issues still occurred.
Issue #1: The ragdoll explodes off into infinite space
Not all the time, but enough to reproduce consistently, the ragdoll will explode off into infinite space, only to abruptly (but not completely) re-attach at the death point:

Issue #2: Constraints sometimes fail to attach
Every time I reset with the ragdoll, my 2008 Visor no longer stays connected to my head (accessories are connected with HingeConstraints to the head). I’m unsure what the root cause is (e.g. do certain accessories not attach, or is it the nth accessory?)

Potential Issue:
I can’t say definitively, as this may just be me observing things in a negative light because of the previous two issues, but constraints seem less precise, get stuck (if I reset, I may be stuck standing up bending backwards slightly), and update at a lower framerate.
