Ragdoll Upon damage script issue

Hello Dev forum, It’s been awhile since I been here so please correct me If anything I’ve do or say in this post is wrong, or rule Violating.

Recently, my friends and I started working on a small project. The game involves attacking people with pans. also including a badge hunting and a few quest (game is a work in progress right now) Everything was going well into we struck into a problem with one of our pvp mechanics

The issue/Dilemma that’s happening is when the player Damages a person with a frying pan, there supposed to ragdoll upon the damage taken, but the script that we wrote isn’t working and not ragdolling them upon the damage whatsoever. here’s the code for the script. (we put this in the serverscriptservice)

local function applyRagdollAndKnockback(player, damageAmount)

local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
    humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
    humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
        for _, joint in pairs(humanoid:GetDescendants()) do
            if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
                local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
                local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
                local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
                a1.CFrame = joint.C0
                a2.CFrame = joint.C1
                a1.Parent = joint.Part0
                a2.Parent = joint.Part1
                socket.Parent = joint.Parent
                socket.Attachment0 = a1
                socket.Attachment1 = a2
                socket.LimitsEnabled = true
                socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
                joint.Enabled = false
            end
        end
        humanoid.RootPart.CanCollide = false
    end)
end


local knockbackForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, -damageAmount)
local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bodyVelocity.MaxForce = knockbackForce * 100
bodyVelocity.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart


game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(bodyVelocity, 0.5)

end

If Someone Could correct us this script or help us it will be greatly appreciated,

So taking damage is supposed to ragdoll the player even if they don’t die yet? You should run the take the ragdolling code when applyRagdollAndKnockback is called instead of connecting it to Humanoid.Died. Your current code will also make multiple Humanoid.Died connections if the character takes damage multiple times.

Does this work correctly?

local function applyRagdollAndKnockback(player, damageAmount)

local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if humanoid then
    humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
    for _, joint in pairs(humanoid:GetDescendants()) do
        if joint:IsA("Motor6D") then
            local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
            local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
            local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
            a1.CFrame = joint.C0
            a2.CFrame = joint.C1
            a1.Parent = joint.Part0
            a2.Parent = joint.Part1
            socket.Parent = joint.Parent
            socket.Attachment0 = a1
            socket.Attachment1 = a2
            socket.LimitsEnabled = true
            socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
            joint.Enabled = false
        end
    end
    humanoid.RootPart.CanCollide = false
end


local knockbackForce = Vector3.new(0, 0, -damageAmount)
local bodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
bodyVelocity.MaxForce = knockbackForce * 100
bodyVelocity.Parent = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart


game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(bodyVelocity, 0.5)
end

Yea, it was supposed to ragdoll the player when hit with the pan. Also, the code didn’t really work, sadly.
