Troubles With Ragdoll (Works With Weird Parenting)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey!
I am using a ragdoll system Weldify provided in the post Temporary Ragdoll?

However,

While modifying this system to be formatted in a way I prefer and work within my game, I realized that it only works with a regular script parented to the character model, however with the same exact system in place parented elsewhere, it kills the player…?

Behavior When Ran Inside Of Character Model

Behavior When Ran Inside Of ServerScriptService

RobloxRagdoll_InServer

Code Within The Script 
--//Services\\--
local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

--//Connections\\--
local Connections = RepStorage.Connections
local Ragdoll = Connections.Ragdoll

--//Variables\\--
local Ragdolls = {}

--//Logic\\--
Ragdoll.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Ragdolled)
	local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
	if Ragdolled then
		Ragdolls[Player] = Player
		
		for _, Motor in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
			if Motor:IsA("Motor6D") then
				if Motor.Name ~= "Root" and Motor.Name ~= "RootJoint" then
					local Att0 = Instance.new("Attachment")
					Att0.Name = "RagdollSocket"
					Att0.CFrame = Motor.C0
					Att0.Parent = Motor.Part0
					local Att1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
					Att1.Name = "RagdollSocket"
					Att1.CFrame = Motor.C1
					Att1.Parent = Motor.Part1

					local Socket = script.RagdollJoints:FindFirstChild(Motor.Name)
					Socket.Attachment0 = Att0
					Socket.Attachment1 = Att1
					Socket.Enabled = true

					Motor.Enabled = false
				end
			end
		end

		Character.HumanoidRootPart.CanCollide = false
		Character.HumanoidRootPart.Massless = true
		
	else
		Ragdolls[Player] = nil
		
		local Sockets = {}
		for _, v in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
			if v:IsA("Motor6D") then
				v.Enabled = true
			elseif v.Name == "RagdollSocket" then 
				table.insert(Sockets,v)
			elseif v.Parent.Name == "RagdollJoints" then
				v.Enabled = false
			end
		end
		for _, v in pairs(Sockets) do v:Destroy() end

		Character.HumanoidRootPart.CanCollide = true
		Character.HumanoidRootPart.Massless = false
	end
end)

Very confused by this odd behavior as it’s the exact same code, just in a different place
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me figure this out!

I figured it out…

It turns out due to the script fetching the Ragdoll Joints within the script (When In ServerScriptService), they didn’t exist within workspace… a slight oversight on my part.

I moved the script to ServerScriptService and kept the joints within my character and that made everything work as intended.

Thank you to anyone who checked this out and I apologize for wasting your time if you spent time trying to figure this out lol.
