In short, I’m trying to create a ragdoll with this bit of code:
rbvalue.Changed:Connect(function()
if rbvalue.Value then
-- Init
local humanoidRootPart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
-- Check for joints
for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Motor6D") then
-- Create attachments
local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
a1.Parent = v.Part0
a2.Parent = v.Part1
socket.Parent = v.Parent
socket.Attachment0 = a1
socket.Attachment1 = a2
a1.CFrame = v.C0
a2.CFrame = v.C1
-- Set constraints
socket.LimitsEnabled = true
socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
v.Enabled = false
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Ragdoll)
end
end
elseif not rbvalue.Value then
rbvalue.Value = false
-- Remove ragdolls
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
v:Destroy()
elseif v:IsA("Motor6D") then
v.Enabled = true
end
end
end
end)
Although this code works near flawlessly, The ragdolled player can still walk around just fine, although ragdolled (obviously). Now, there is a simple fix to this, and that’s Humanoid.PlatformStand = true. However, platform stand comes with the side effect of limbs clipping into the ground and I don’t want that but I have no clue as to why the ragdoll state doesn’t have my character unable to move. Any ideas?
Hmm. It doesn’t work but I don’t believe its because of the state type. I tagged a line after humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics) so it looked like this:
print(humanoid:GetState())
but i get this in the console:
Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running
It doesn’t change at all even though there doesn’t seem too be any logic to prevent that. If it helps, the ragdoll code is handled by a server script.
It sounds like you may be missing a step in your code. When you change the Humanoid’s state to Ragdoll, you need to also set the Humanoid’s PlatformStand property to true. This will prevent the character from being able to move while in the ragdoll state.
You can do this by adding the following line of code after you set the Humanoid’s BreakJointsOnDeath and RequiresNeck properties:
I’ve considered this. The only problem I have with platformstand is that it sets the limbs to no collide, creating a weird effect where the limbs clip through the floor. I believe the issue lies in the ChangeState() method not working. I’m trying to solve this right now.
Edit: I’ve also tried adding char.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil) before the state is changed. No effect
This is what the new script looks like:
rbvalue.Changed:Connect(function()
if rbvalue.Value then
-- Init
char.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
print(humanoid:GetState())
local humanoidRootPart = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.BreakJointsOnDeath = false
humanoid.RequiresNeck = false
-- Check for joints
for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Motor6D") then
-- Create attachments
local socket = Instance.new("BallSocketConstraint")
local a1 = Instance.new("Attachment")
local a2 = Instance.new("Attachment")
a1.Parent = v.Part0
a2.Parent = v.Part1
socket.Parent = v.Parent
socket.Attachment0 = a1
socket.Attachment1 = a2
a1.CFrame = v.C0
a2.CFrame = v.C1
-- Set constraints
socket.LimitsEnabled = true
socket.TwistLimitsEnabled = true
v.Enabled = false
end
end
elseif not rbvalue.Value then
rbvalue.Value = false
-- Remove ragdolls
humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
char.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(player)
for i, v in pairs(char:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BallSocketConstraint") then
v:Destroy()
elseif v:IsA("Motor6D") then
v.Enabled = true
end
end
end
end)
I think the issue is that the ChangeState() method is not working properly. I suggest trying to use a different method to change the humanoid state, such as humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.PlatformStanding). This should set the limbs to no collide and prevent the limbs from clipping through the floor.
Apparently PlatformStanding is deprecated or is read only (You can only check if the humanoid is platformstaning with GetState(). But how is that meant to healp when the ChangeState() method itself doesn’t work?
I forgot an important part which is that the client has network ownership of the character so any changes you try to make to the humanoid using the server will be overwritten by the client.
My other comment that i deleted i recommended using :SetNetworkOwner() to set the server to the owner of humanoidRootPart, but i think a better solution is to use a RemoteEvent to get the client to change the humanoid state to physics.
So inside the server script you would have something like
then in a local script in StarterCharacterScripts you could have
local char = script.Parent
game.ReplicatedStorage.RagdollRemote.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(enable)
if enable then
char.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
else
char.Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
end
end)
