R6 Ragdoll System

Info

I’ve looked everywhere for a ragdoll system that worked with R6 and was easy to use and trusted. I had no luck finding one so I made my own quick and simple R6 ragdoll system that’s designed to be EXTREMELY easy to use for beginner developers. Once put in your game, you don’t have to do anything else. Updates will be automatically installed for you.

To use the system, insert the model into your place and put it into either Workspace or ServerScriptService.

This system is configured to ragdoll when your character dies. If enough support is received, I will expand this to R15 and make the ragdoll initializable from any point in-game and add customization features.

Do you mind if you provide videos or screenshots for those you can’t use it right now?

Sure thing, let me update the post.

I updated the post. Thanks for the suggestion.

That looks awesome! I hope this gets popular.
I really like that test looking place you have there. It makes everything look really professional!
I also noticed that the hats fall though the ground. Is there a setting to disable this?

This is awesome! I like how the player stays still after death, and not like other ragdoll systems where the player will likely spin or an arm will spin around wildly. I also like how the hats got removed, too (kind of simulating a hat falling off)

I’ll fix the hats sometime this week. You won’t have to reinsert the module. If you don’t have the updated model, get it now so you can receive all updates I make. Just re-insert the model.

I think you could weld the accessories to the head of the player using WeldConstraint, I don’t really know, I’ve only used it with BaseParts and unions.

Why is this needed? If the motor6d’s remain there, the ball sockets won’t work

right and just manually destroy the limb motors. Thanks man

Oof, it’s been done before but with a varying degrees of sophistication, I only noticed now because of this post.

Yeah this one seems to only work for R15, but there is a link to Quentys nevermore engine which I believe supports R6.

But for the post formatting, next time I recommend linking both of your models, the one with the code and one with that require for the automatic updates.

The model code linked here which is just a require to the main model

Yeah still nice to see a variety of ways to do ragdolls I haven’t fully analyzed the pros and cons of each system though (like echo reapers ragdoll only working for R15 and Rthro).

Thank you for your feedback. I’ll be regularly maintaining this system, and because of the support shown, I’ll add R15 support and a ton of more customization. I added a link to the module code. Is there anything you see can be improved to the system?

You should make it so that accessories don’t fall off

It’s on my list of things to do today. Should I make it an option where you can toggle if your accessories get deleted or not?

1 Like

Yeah that’s a cool feature to add in.

Looked cool at first, sadly for my use case it had to be toggleable. Is that planned for the future?

Over the course of this week, I am making it compatible with R15, toggleable and extremely customizable. Do you want me to PM you when build 2 is out?

Sure!
Also I recommend removing the [OPEN SOURCE] part of your title, because community resources are expected to be open source anyways so it doesn’t serve much purpose.

You should keep hats on player’s avatars when they die. Hats / package heads falling off when entering the ragdoll state doesn’t look all that great.

Other than that, looks cool!

Hey! I don’t know if it’s a good time to ask but, how is progress on the updates?
