I’ve made posts on this in the past, but i’ve finally found the root of the issue, I just can’t figure out a way to fix it. So, I have this ragdoll module that, well, ragdolls a player. When I fire this module on the client, the ragdoll works perfectly. But when it is fired by the server, the player does not fall and they hang off from the HumanoidRootPart.
Now, I would just fire from the client, but I want everyone to see the ragdolled player actually ragdolled, and when I fire from the client, it just shows a player stiff as a board on the ground instead of ragdolled to other players. I need to fire to the server, but without the HumanoidRootPart staying up, but how would I do this?
Fired from Client:
Fired from Server:
Servers view when fired from client:
for _, part in character:GetChildren() do
if part:IsA("BasePart") and game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(character.Name) then
part:SetNetworkOwner(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(character))
end
end
When I do this, it errors when I fire the module from the client and still has the same behavior from when I would fire it from the server before this.
I think the code is working, but the remote event is not being fired. Here’s what the code looks like.
Module:
function RagdollModule:RagdollPlayer(character, duration)
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
if not humanoid then
return
end
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
if not player then
return
end
for _, part in character:GetChildren() do
if part:IsA("BasePart") then
part:SetNetworkOwner(player)
end
end
if player then
player:FindFirstChild("ValuesFolder"):FindFirstChild("Stun").Value = true
end
if player then
script.RagdollClientCommunicator:FireClient(player)
end
task.wait(duration)
if player then
player:FindFirstChild("ValuesFolder"):FindFirstChild("Stun").Value = false
end
end
Client:
local Remote = script.Parent.RagdollClientCommunicator
Remote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(character,duration)
print("Run!")
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
character.Humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
for index,joint in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
a1.Name = "RagdollAttach"
a2.Name = "RagdollAttach"
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.Enabled = false
end
end
task.wait(duration)
for index,joint in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if joint:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") or joint.Name == "RagdollAttach" then
joint:Destroy()
end
end
for index,joint in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
joint.Enabled = true
end
end
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
character.Humanoid.RequiresNeck = true
character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = true
end)
There is no errors being thrown, so I will try to test this out without being in a module.
I had this exact problem, and I fixed it disabling the animation like this, and firing an event to all clients to set the specific humanoid to a specific state, like this:
Server: (needs ragdollEnabled, character, and event defined)
character.Animate.Disabled = ragdollEnabled
if ragdollEnabled then
for _,v in pairs(character.Humanoid:GetPlayingAnimationTracks()) do
v:Stop(0)
end
end
event:FireAllClients(character.Humanoid,(ragdollEnabled and Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics or Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp))
However, this would make it so you’d need to update all new clients who join AFTER the event is fired will need to know what state the humanoids are in.
