Break Character Joints Without Dying?

Asked by

5 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to create a script which transforms the player in a ragdoll, but when the script runs, the character doesn't fall on the ground even with the ragdoll effect applied. Is there a way to break the character's joints without needing to kill the character, so I can make it fall on the ground?

I don't think I need to post the entire ragdoll script here though, since I only want to break the character's joints, like when the character dies.

You can use the :BreakJoints() function, which you break welds and other joints, like in a player's character such as this example:

local myModel = workspace.Model

myModel:BreakJoints()

though the object descendants of the model wouldnt seem to break apart if their anchored

It worked, but the character dies after I break the joints constructionmiller 44 — 5y

its because when the head or torso is detached or removed from the character, the character dies i think User#23365 30 — 5y

But is there a way to make the joints break without making the character die? constructionmiller 44 — 5y

well you could do another event or trigger for your ragdoll, instead of the died event which i think your using User#23365 30 — 5y

No, I'm using a server script to fire an event that commands the client to do the ragdoll, but it's the break joints that is killing the character constructionmiller 44 — 5y

well i guess try rescripting it so it doesnt need to break the player's joints User#23365 30 — 5y

Ok constructionmiller 44 — 5y

The ragdoll occurs on death ao why would it matter :p DaggerOf_Fly -24 — 5y

roblox doesnt have a built in ragdoll function User#23365 30 — 5y

and you can make script to ragdoll without dying User#23365 30 — 5y

But you want it to happen once the player dies which is why its under humanoid.died DaggerOf_Fly -24 — 5y
