Here is the code.

 local HumanoidRootPart = Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			 local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", HumanoidRootPart)
            BodyVelocity.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,10,0) + HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector *  200
				Humanoid.Ragdoll:Connect(function(True)
				
				
					            wait(0.5)
					
                    Humanoid.Ragdoll:Connect(function(False)
				            BodyVelocity:Destroy()

I’m trying too have the person who gets knocked back from this to ragdoll, but I have no idea how. Could someone help? I’d greatly appreciate it

Try using:

Humanoid.ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll)

Try getting the humanoid in the character:

local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
-- or :FindFirstChild or :WaitForChild

From here, you can make the character ragdoll by using Humanoid:ChangeState to change to a HumanoidStateType enum:

Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.FallingDown)

You can also use Physics or PlatformStanding. I think the Ragdoll enum won’t be very responsive, please prove me wrong.

You can also change the PlatformStand property:

Humanoid.PlatformStand = true

And you can also use the cool ragdoll resource if you want the character to turn into the traditional definition of a ragdoll:

When are you trying to run this code? If you run this code right when the player joins, they won’t have a character yet, and if you run it after they’ve died, the character will be different.

https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/Player/CharacterAdded is an event that passes a character argument for you to use, and every time the character changes the event fires again.

And are you running this code on the server or client?

This part is being run on the server, is that an issue?

If it’s on the server, you should use the PlayerAdded event:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(Character)
        local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
        -- do ragdoll stuff here

    end)
end)

You cannot use LocalPlayer in a server script. Only in local scripts. Maybe show more of the code to see where it should be placed.
