I’m working on a small game based off of the movie Circle in which players are spawned in and vote on who to kill each round. The last person standing wins.
I’ve added some effects when a player dies to make it more sci-fi like including a ragdoll effect, them being sucked into the center, and an electric zap using Buildthomas’s ElectricArc. The issue I’ve run into is that in some random cases, when the player is killed, their body just disappears instead of ragdolling and getting sucked in.
Here is a clip of the bug in action. THE FIRST DEATH YOU SEE (SUVORIA) IS THE INTENDED DEATH EFFECT. THE SECOND DEATH (ANVEXITY) IS THE GLITCH.
Keep in mind that I have literally no clue what’s causing this. :LoadCharacter() is never called in any script in the game, and the only time anyone’s position is set is when teleporting each player at the beginning of the round.
I do believe this was still happening before I added the ragdolling and electric arc, however I didn’t post about it now because it wasn’t very noticeable and thus less annoying when there were no death effects.
Another strange thing is that it happens on different players’ screens at different times, meaning the bug is client-sided and coming from a LocalScript. There are two main LocalScripts in my game: The RagdollHandler and the main handler for the GUI. The GUI literally does not mention position or .Died once except for :TweenPosition for GUIObjects, so I doubt it has anything to do with that script.
Even though I’m pretty sure the ragdolling has nothing to do with it, I figured I’d attach the script anyway to see if anyone could find anything. Keep in mind that this is straight from the toolbox and I just made adjustments to it to allow it to work for every player when they die instead of just the local one and to also drag them to the center before they respawn. Here it is:

This bug has been pissing me off for the past day and I’ve been trying to solve it, but I can’t. Any help is highly appreciated.
