i have a problem with a ragdoll drag system i made. it seems to remove the players animations so that they’re like idle ig and it spasms out a bit. still looking for solutions on devforum rn but if theres anyone that knows how to fix this i’d really appreciate the help ty!
video:
script:
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ropeEvent")
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, otherchar)
local mychar = plr.Character
local otherplr:Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherchar)
if mychar.Humanoid.Health == 0 or otherchar.Humanoid.Health == 0 then return end
local parts = {
"charRope"
}
local chars = {
mychar, -- my character
otherchar -- another character
}
for _, part in ipairs(mychar:GetDescendants()) do
if table.find(parts, part.Name) then return end
end
local function makeRope()
local rope = Instance.new("RopeConstraint", mychar)
rope.Name = "charRope"
rope.Visible = true
rope.Thickness = .15
local at0 = Instance.new("Attachment", mychar.RightHand)
at0.Name = "at0"
local at1 = Instance.new("Attachment", otherchar.HumanoidRootPart)
at1.Name = "at1"
rope.Attachment0 = at0
rope.Attachment1 = at1
rope.Length = 10
rope.Color = BrickColor.new("Really red")
rope.WinchResponsiveness = 1
rope.WinchEnabled = true
local function ragdollotherPlr()
local Humanoid:Humanoid = otherchar:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
Humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
local otherplrParts = {
"ragdollSocket",
"ragdollAtt1",
"ragdollAtt2"
}
for i, part in pairs(otherchar:GetDescendants()) do
if table.find(otherplrParts, part.Name) then
return end
end
for index, joint in pairs(otherchar:GetDescendants()) do
if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
socket.Name = "ragdollSocket"
local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
a1.Name = "ragdollAtt1"
local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
a2.Name = "ragdollAtt2"
a1.Parent = joint.Part0
a2.Parent = joint.Part1
socket.Parent = joint.Parent
socket.Attachment0 = a1
socket.Attachment1 = a2
a1.CFrame = joint.C0
a2.CFrame = joint.C1
socket.LimitsEnabled = true
socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
joint:Destroy()
end
end
end
ragdollotherPlr()
mychar.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
rope:Destroy()
at1:Destroy()
at0:Destroy()
end)
otherchar.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
rope:Destroy()
at1:Destroy()
at0:Destroy()
end)
end
makeRope()
end)
I have something similar, but separate for objects and tools.
Create a folder when the player joins that stores all the motor6Ds when you attach the rope.
Maybe also create a table to help keep track of individual joints, like
local playerJoints = {}
for i, motor in pairs(player.Character:GetDescendants()) do
if motor:IsA('Motor6D') then
motor.Parent = playerMotorFolder
playerJoints[v.Parent.Name] = motor
end
end
Replace the Motor6Ds with BallSocket or Hinge Constraints depending on how you want it to look.
When the rope is released, destroy or move the Constraints and put the Motor6Ds back.
for i, part in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do
if playerJoints[part.Name] then
playerJoints[part.Name].Parent = part
table.remove(playerJoints, part.Name)
end
end
When the player leaves or the character dies, destroy the storage folder.
If the players need the BallSocketConstraints throughout the game why not just leave them in the playyer instead of Destroying them. This way they can just be Enabled = true or false when needed.
hi guys, thank u so much for ur help. both of your points are very helpful and are 100% being considered. i completely forgot about disabling it so thanks for that. i updated the script.
ill be making the system togglable soon enough when i figure out how to make it toggle but the thing is right, when i spawn in it works, but when i respawn and then try it, it just bugs out.
yes. well i know its a db but the thing is i have a local script and i have no idea how to connect the db up to the script bc i have stuff like for loops all over the place.
this is what i got in lc:
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ropeEvent")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local ropeOn = false
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
local mouseTarget = mouse.Target
ropeOn = true
local target = mouseTarget:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(target)
if player then
local otherchar = player.Character
if ropeOn then
event:FireServer(otherchar, ropeOn)
else
if not ropeOn then
event:FireServer(otherchar, ropeOn)
end
end
end
end)
Also, don’t use ReplicatedStorage for stuff that the server needs. People can hack it. Use ServerStorage instead.
ReplicatedStorage is best saved for events and RemoteFunctions. That way, if a hacker removes something from there, they’re only breaking the game for themselves lol
It’s not exactly a debounce, a debounce is more like a cooldown for making sure not to run a certain thread while it’s already doing the same thing or busy with something else. Like if you have to wait 2 seconds between firing to pump your shotgun, you’d say something like
if debounceTime < 2 then return end
Or another debounce type is if you’re clicking a Gui button, so you don’t want to fire a weapon.
if mouseClickElsewhere then return end
-- mouseClickElsewhere is the "processed" in a UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)end)
This is more of a switch.
Use it exactly like this:
ropeOn = not ropeOn -- do this first
-- this switches to the opposite every time
-- if ropeOn is true, it sets it to false.
-- if ropeOn is false, it sets it to true.
-- THEN check whether it's now on or off
if ropeOn then
-- if the rope is On then make the rope
else
-- break the rope
end
thanks for the info, i really appreciate all the help you’ve given me. hate to be bothering u but when i try to break the rope it doesnt recognise the “rope” variable i have here:
Have you tried using Character.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(player: Player?)?
I’m assuming the issue is that the two clients fight for who runs the physics, making it feel unresponsive to the dragger.
After you ragdoll the other player and establish the constraints, try
The problem with that is then the other player will be unable to control their character, and if the constraints are made by the client, then the other players wouldn’t see the rope, and constraints wouldn’t exist for them without firing events to the server and then back to all clients, which is horrible for performance if there are a lot of players using the rope or similar tools at once.
The constraints are made on the server. They are replicated to all clients once created. Where did you get the impression the ropes were created on the clients?
@pixeldippz@theseformasentence hey guys, thank u so much for the help. i cant seem to get it to toggle yet so im gonna look for more help but i appreciate everything you’ve done. thank u
