SetStateEnabled does not actually disable a state from occuring?

I’m trying to use SetStateEnabled to prevent the FallingDown state from ever occurring on my player’s charatcer. However, I still get cases where it can happen

-- Done on server*
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	character.Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown, false)
end)

print(
	Player.Character.Humanoid:GetState(),
	Player.Character.Humanoid:GetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown)
)

I don’t know if I’m misinterpreting the wording, but the way I read it, this claims that disabling the state means it won’t occur, ever!

Hmm, I tried it for another state, and it always returns false for me.

you can’t control state types on the server. it’s stupid but you’ll have to use a client script or remotevents for npcs etc.

As this user suggests, the client has network ownership over the local player’s character, so this needs to be handled by the client.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local function OnCharacterAdded(Character)
	local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	
	local function OnHumanoidStateChanged(OldState, NewState)
		print(Humanoid:GetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown)) --Always false.
	end
	
	Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(OnHumanoidStateChanged)
	Humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown, false)
end

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
