Ragdoll Modular Script isn't ending a ragdoll because it stops at a task.wait

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. I have a ragdoll script that launches the player after touching a part

  2. The player does not get unragdolled after the amount of time, it never goes beyond the second task.wait

  3. I have tried using a coroutine, still has the same problem of the second task.wait() not passing through. I also have tried commenting out the Torso velocity, removing direction and strength variables, and doing both and it still doesn’t work

local ragdoll = {}

function ragdoll.doRagdoll(ragTime) -- This is the one that works
	if (notRagdolled) then
		notRagdolled = false
		for _, motor6d in ipairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
			if motor6d:IsA("Motor6D") then
				motor6d.Enabled = false
			end
		end

		script.Parent.Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running, false)
		script.Parent.Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, false)

		headBodyJoint.Enabled = true
		leftABodyJoint.Enabled = true
		rightABodyJoint.Enabled = true
		leftLBodyJoint.Enabled = true
		rightLBodyJoint.Enabled = true
		
		script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
		
		print("Start2")
		task.wait(1)
		print("Can do 1")
		task.wait(ragTime)
		notRagdolled = true
		script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Torso"):SetNetworkOwner(player)
		print("End")
		script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart:PivotTo(script.Parent.Torso.CFrame)

		script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.X,script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Y +0.5,script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Z)

That’s insanely cursed. Are you 100% sure that ragTime doesn’t get changed anywhere else?

Nevermind. I see it’s used as a parameter.

Follow up: could you print what ragTime is just before the wait?

Nope, I am very sure this isnt the case

#5

Did that

…and replacing ragTime with 5 directly?

Tried doing that, still doesn’t work
I made sure that it printed after setting it to 5

I also made it just wait 5 seconds without using ragTime, still didn’t work

#8

That’s insane. Studio isn’t freezing either, is it?

To debug and find out when the script stops, can you do this instead of waiting 5 seconds:

for i = 1, 50 do
    print("Still running at "..i/10.." seconds")t
    task.wait(0.1)
end

It stopped working after a second

#11

Well now you’ve got to figure out what makes it stop, if the script is still running, if other scripts are still running, if the function is still running…

(Try to see what corresponds to 1 second)

Yep that was the exact problem I found. The script calling the modular script got deleted before it could finish

Thanks for the help though
