[Updated] Perfect R6 Ragdoll - Easiest Ragdoll System for R6 Avatars

I will add this to the script. Nice solution!

If it is a problem then you can just put Humanoid:StopAllAnimations() but you should not be playing animations after the character dies anyway.

Hi

Nice system, performant and barebones, as it should be

Been grappling with one physics issue for a while now. Was hoping maybe your experience working with ragdolls may provide clarity?

When the character is floating in water, I enable the ragdoll and make each assembly in the character anti-gravity by using a vectorforce with force set to AssemblyMass * workspace.Gravity. However, I noticed that when all these anti-gravity assemblies(the body parts of the character) are connected by the ball sockets, the character floats up when moving, which should not occur:

Do ball sockets exert a force? How can I ensure that the anti-gravity version of the ragdoll remains anti-gravity even when moving?

#88

In the client script, comment out the push() function since it exerts a force when the ragdoll is activated.

#89

Unfortunately, I have that commented out already

#90

I’m pretty sure that the ball sockets somehow affect the velocity of the connected assemblies, unless, which I highly doubt, the ragdoll humanoid state exerts a constant upwards force.

#91

In the createColliderPart() functon, try removing the rp.Massless = true line and see if that fixes it.

#92

I already disabled that but the issue persists

#93

try setting Humanoid.EvaluateStateMachine to false temporarily

#94

Now how do I use this? I see that it ragdolls on death, but how do I make it like for example I want a part to ragdoll you? You don’t really explain it so some explanation would be nice, thank you!

#95

Also for the NPC one you really don’t explain how to use that either. It’s hard to figure it out for me, since I’m not a very experienced scripter.

#96

there’s a BoolValue on the player’s Character, you can get it with Character:WaitForChild(“IsRagdoll”)
here’s the code

workspace.Part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
  if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) then
    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("IsRagdoll") then
      hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("IsRagdoll").Value = true
      task.wait(0.5)
      hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("IsRagdoll").Value = false -- unragdoll after 0.5 seconds
    end
  end
end)
#97

Thank you for the suggestion, but this unfortunately didn’t solve the problem.

I’ve also tried changing the ragdoll humanoid state to physics(as I’m very sure the physics state exerts no force), but this changed nothing. I’ve formulated a test to isolate the source of the upwards force, and though I’m not 100% certain, I’m pretty sure the BallSocketConstraints are the culprit. In theory two anti-gravity assemblies connected by a ball socket should still be anti-gravity, but I think in Roblox’s engine the ball sockets are causing unwanted(though small) upwards forces.

In my test, every limb has the right “anti-gravity” vectorforce Force, and is collisionless.
The ball sockets that connect the limbs have no LimitsEnabled. MaxFrictionTorque is 0.
Despite all this, the more the limb twists around the ball socket, the more the character is sent upwards.

#98

you could just make a separate invisible character that is always with the current player’s character and when the player’s character ragdoll in water, use the invisible character to position the player’s character every frame. Then stop using it whenever the player is not ragdolled or in water.

Or even better just use a invisible part. This wouldnt be hard to do since the player shouldnt move when they are ragdolled.

#99

Thanks so much for this recommendation—it set off a lightbulb moment in my head:

Completely disconnect the torso from rootpart(No Motor6D, no ball socket, no rope, no spring connecting them), then add an AlignPosition with ReactionForce Enabled to connect them instead. This way the rootpart is more independent from the idiosyncrasies of the limbs’ movements. Then, since the rootpart no longer bears the mass of the body, just use CustomPhysicalProperties to add the mass of the limbs onto the rootpart so it moves normally. By doing this, I have been able to experience 0 unwanted forces.

I could not have gotten to this point without your code and through six solid months of tinkering with it, I have learned a whole lot about character physics!

Hey im using this Script and it seems that theres a large lag between the torso and its limbs on both client and server. Whenever i trigger the ragdoll on a npc with knockback added, their torso moves normally while the limbs and head dont. When i try with players, everyone(Including the server) except the player that got hit sees the limbs lagging. Any idea how to deal with this? I dont know how to provide footage because roblox wont let me.

#101

You need to set the RootJoint of the humanoidrootpart to false.

#102

tried that just now. The limbs and head are still failing to move until after the ragdoll is unactivated

#103

how to fix it my dummy just won’t ragdoll

#104


I tried using the ragdoll, but instead of a ragdoll I got this weird anchored fall

All I did was put the RagdollR6 script into starter character scripts and change the bool value
Is there something I’m missing or is this just a bug?

#105

You are toggling it on the client. It only works if the server changes the ragdoll value.
