Ragdoll flying issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to create a ragdoll function. It works, but it shoots the character into the air.

Server script:

local d = char:GetDescendants()
for i=1,#d do
	local desc = d[i]
	if desc:IsA("Motor6D") then
		local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
		local part0 = desc.Part0
		local joint_name = desc.Name
		local attachment0 = desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."Attachment") or desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."RigAttachment")
		local attachment1 = part0:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."Attachment") or part0:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."RigAttachment")
		if attachment0 and attachment1 then
			socket.Attachment0, socket.Attachment1 = attachment0, attachment1
			socket.Parent = desc.Parent
			desc:Destroy()
		end	
	end
end

Any help would be appreciated. :slightly_smiling_face:

Interesting. I’ve used a similar script and it doesn’t do that. Could you show a video of what happens?

Kinda funny to be honest, I think you should keep it that way :laughing:

We can’t have it like that, we need it to be a normal ragdoll.

Try putting a body velocity in the humanoid root part that forces it down.

That won’t work either because people will be able to pick people who are ragdolled up.

Disable the velocity when they are picked up?

Hmm. I think that this happens because constraint is trying to snap 2 attachments together, and one of them is somewhere up in the air. You should make attachments visible and see if there’s any attachment in the air.

I just checked. No, there are no attachments are in the air.

Oh. Imo this should be moved to #platform-feedback:engine-bugs, because there’s no reason for it to fly.
Also, does the ragdoll stop at some moment?

Nope, it just keeps on flying. And I feel like this is still my error.

Let me see the full behaviour of this ragdoll. This might take time.

I have tried this in baseplate, everything works fine and character ragdolls as he should. I’ve noticed that this scrpt doesn’t work with R6.
I think that this affects only your game. Try to find anything that interacts with character in any way.

That doesn’t make sense, everything was normal without the ragdoll and it only flings you into the air when you ragdoll.

I think that the tool is the cause for this. Try to save your tool to a file, open a baseplate, insert an R15 rig (plugins tab → rig builder), insert your tool into starter pack and see if it still flies.

I inserted the ragdoll script in a random baseplate without the weapon and called it on the character when the player is added and it still flies.

Here are both scripts if needed.

Server:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Ragdoll.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(p,char)
	local d = char:GetDescendants()
	for i=1,#d do
		local desc = d[i]
		if desc:IsA("Motor6D") then
			local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
			local part0 = desc.Part0
			local joint_name = desc.Name
			local attachment0 = desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."Attachment") or desc.Parent:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."RigAttachment")
			local attachment1 = part0:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."Attachment") or part0:FindFirstChild(joint_name.."RigAttachment")
			if attachment0 and attachment1 then
				socket.Attachment0, socket.Attachment1 = attachment0, attachment1
				socket.Parent = desc.Parent
				desc:Destroy()
			end	
			local new = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
			new.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,-100,0)
			new.Parent = char.HumanoidRootPart
		end
	end
end)

Client:

local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Ragdoll:FireServer(p.Character)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Killed.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
    game.SoundService.SoundEffects.Kill:Play()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.Ragdoll:FireServer(player.Character)
end)

You’re getting launched into the air as well?
