I'm making a multiplayer game, and I want to add ragdoll physics to player when the player dies. But when I activate the ragdoll physics (rigidbodies) the player just flys to the moon XD I am using ragdoll first time and I don't know how to fix this issue.

Do you apply a force to all rigidbodies when you activate it? or just the Hips rigidbody? Also if you have a collider on your parent gameObject (Player Parent) like a capsule collider, are you disabling this before enabling the ragdoll?

No I am not applying a force at all. And yes I am disabling the character controller (capsule collider) before enabling ragdoll colliders.
public void ToggleRagdoll(bool toggle) {
_rig.SetActive(!toggle);
_animator.enabled = !toggle;
_controller.enabled = !toggle;
_pelvisCollider.enabled = toggle;
_spineCollider.enabled = toggle;
_headCollider.enabled = toggle;
foreach (var capsuleCollider in _innerColliders) {
capsuleCollider.enabled = toggle;
}
}
}
this is the code

How come pelvis / spine & head colliders are separate and not part of innerColliders? What does innerColliders consist of?

Pelvis and spine are box colliders, head is a sphere collider and inner colliders (arms and legs) are capsule colliders. Because of that these are seperate.
twilit spoke
Hmm - In that case I'm not entirely sure as this ToggleRagdoll is exactly what I would do too. Except I would use private List<Collider> _innerColliders; instead, so that you can add the pelvis / spine & head to that list, and save yourself writing the same line 4 times
I've never had a ragdoll have a bone fixed to the floor like yours seems to be, stretching with the ragdoll

Yea I couldn't think of that at the time 😄 But I am sure of this is not causing my main problem

Are your inner rigidbodies kinematic by default? or non-kinematic?
If they are non-kinematic, maybe try making them kinematic by default, then when you enable the innerColliders, make them non-kinematic
jaunty finch
Okay I'm gonna try it now
twilit spoke
That should fix it if they were "is Kinematic = false" by default
twilit spoke
Since the rigidbodies will be trying to constantly update physics, but your Animator will be overriding transforms. So the moment you disable the Animator, the Rigidbody velocity will be high
and you guy will go flying
jaunty finch
That should fix it if they were "is Kinematic = false" by default
they were already false 😦
twilit spoke
Yes, so make them all true
jaunty finch
oh okay
twilit spoke
and then in your code
public void ToggleRagdoll(bool toggle) {
_rig.SetActive(!toggle);
_animator.enabled = !toggle;
_controller.enabled = !toggle;
_pelvisCollider.enabled = toggle;
_spineCollider.enabled = toggle;
_headCollider.enabled = toggle;
foreach (var capsuleCollider in _innerColliders) {
capsuleCollider.enabled = toggle;
}
foreach (RigidBody rb in _innerBodies)
{
rb.isKinematic = !toggle;
}
}
}
i'm trying it rn
twilit spoke
The guy should just drop to the floor, since no forces should be applied anymore
& make sure to include your Pelvis Head and Spine Rigidbody in your public List<Rigidbody> _innerBodies; too

I just did it with getcomponent
twilit spoke
Cool, lemme know how it goes 🤞
twilit spoke
paste one of them here?
jaunty finch
I'm trying to fix it know
twilit spoke
Mirror?
twilit spoke
Ah okay, yeah Idk networking
jaunty finch
okay I'm trying to fix it xD
twilit spoke
Best of luck with that 😂
Ping me here though when you manage to test the Rigidbody stuff! 😄
jaunty finch
Okay 😄
jaunty finch
I just did it with getcomponent
the error was my genius getcomponent is returning null btw
foreach (var cl in _ragdollColliders) {
cl.enabled = toggle;
cl.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = !toggle;
}
the getcomponent line
twilit spoke
Some of your _ragdollCollider gameobjects don't have a Rigidbody attached to it, maybe?
jaunty finch
omg I'm gonna kill myself lol
yes yes yes that was the problem
I somehow attached the parent object (character controller) to the list
retrying it.
twilit spoke
Lol hopefully this will be the one
jaunty finch
pleease 😄
aandd
nope
that was not the problem somehow
the isKinematic thing
twilit spoke
The only thing I can really suggest is to play the game, pause it, check all of the RigidBodies on your Enemy, check every object, make sure you didn't miss any, to set them: isKinematic = true; by default, since the code you previously had was correct
Make sure that there are no other colliders too, which are overlapping your ragdoll colliders
jaunty finch
The only thing I can really suggest is to play the game, pause it, check **all**...
I just checked it and it seems normal
twilit spoke
If you root PlayerParent object has a rigidbody, that will need to be included in the above ^
jaunty finch
My parent object has a character controller, and I am disabling it before enabling colliders
I just fixed it
twilit spoke
What was it? 🤔
jaunty finch
I was disabling the animator, character controller etc. in the server so there was a super-tiny latency before it applies in the client. So what I did is I enabled the ragdoll physics when the packet from server arrives. Long story short, my ragdoll colliders was enabling before the character controller (root collider) disables.
And that caused all the mess
twilit spoke
Ah I see, nice spot! 😄
jaunty finch
Ah I see, nice spot! 😄
Thank you so much for the help, I appreciate it. I think the isKinematic thing was a life saver 😄 If you hadn't made that suggestion, it would still be working broken right now 100%
twilit spoke
No worries, glad it's all working as intended!
