I decided I'd like a ragdoll script for my game so I tried making my own and letting the common free model ragdoll script guide me. I didn't copy it exactly, but I'm curious what I'm missing here. I anchored the torso just so the character didn't fling, and I notice that the limbs rarely stay loosely connected to my torso (which is what I want) and they usually fling off, despite me having glued them to the torso. If anyone knows more about glues and welds than I do, I'd appreciate any feedback. I just really don't want to use a free model and I wanna figure out how to do this on my own. You can actually disregard the waitForChild function, it works fine.
function waitForChild(parent, childName)
local function round(n, dp)
local dp = dp or 2
return math.floor((n * (10 ^ dp)) + .5) / (10 ^ dp)
end
local child = parent:FindFirstChild(childName)
local expired = 0
while not child do
if expired < 3 then
expired = expired + wait(0)
elseif expired >= 3 and expired < 7 then
local t = tick()
parent.ChildAdded:wait()
expired = expired + (tick() - t)
else
print("waitForChild >> Failed to find " .. parent.Name .. "." .. childName .. " after 7 seconds :(")
return nil
end
child = parent:FindFirstChild(childName)
end
print("waitForChild >> Found " .. parent.Name .. "." .. childName .. (expired <= 0 and " immediately." or " after " .. round(expired, 3) .. "s."))
return child
end
local char = script.Parent
local hum = waitForChild(char, "Humanoid")
local torso = waitForChild(char, "Torso")
local mods = {}
hum.Died:connect(function()
print(script.Name .. " >> Attempting ragdoll for " .. char.Name .. "...")
