Having this really confusing issue where NPC ragdolls aren’t being replicated to the client
What i’ve tried so far:
- Tried the different options of PhysicsImprovedSleep and PhysicsSteppingMethod
- Tried with & without the humanoid state stuff, makes no difference
- Messed around with network ownership - makes no difference. currently I have it nil
- Tried without the anchoring, also tried never unanchoring the npc, which works but is impractical
- Seems to replicate properly slightly more often if the attach.CFrame part is commented out, however this is impractical since it turns the NPC into a spinning ball of flesh
- Tried running each iteration on its own thread, seems to make no difference
- Commented out all other NPC code - there is no code running on this NPC except for the code that spawns it, and the death handling.
PROBABLY IMPORTANT: If I increase the time the NPC is anchored for (lets say 0.5 seconds) it ALWAYS replicates properly to the client, but i shouldn’t have to do that. If i have the wait timer at something inbetween like 0.33s, i see the NPC ragdoll on the client for a sec, but then it becomes stiff after it unanchors.
On the client: Stiff as a board
On the server: Ragdolls properly
Current script:

end
task.wait(0.25)
self.root.Anchored=false
--yeet the npc a little
self.root:ApplyImpulse(vector.create(rng:NextInteger(-25,25),1000,rng:NextInteger(-25,25)))
--the code below has no impact on the ragdoll
task.wait(3)
for _,con:RBXScriptConnection in self.connect do
if con and con.Disconnect then
con:Disconnect()
end
end
--remove connection references from the table, and remove self
self.connect=nil
self=nil
local currentSpawned=spawnedNPCs:GetAttribute(`CurrentSpawned`)
spawnedNPCs:SetAttribute(`CurrentSpawned`,currentSpawned-1)
end)
