Unity Tutorial: How to trigger a ragdoll on impact using C# 

thanks for the super useful tutorial! Also I've seen people in comments asking for force applying to the object when getting hit so here's my take on it.. For context, I use a gun on my FPS game, when my gun shoots, the enemy the ragdoll triggers. I personally get the transform.forward from my FPS camera to determine where the force should be applied relative to where i'm looking. (Also I have my camera as a child of an empty gameobject to keep track of its position). with all that mentioned I simply make a reference to the player camera using - [SerializeField] GameObject playerCam; - (and reference it from inspector) then inside EnableRagdoll() into Rigidbody foreach, I simply addforce to the rigidbodies using rigid.AddForce(playerCam.transform.forward * 200f, ForceMode.Impulse); Of course this function would have to be called into another function when you shoot the enemy so it triggers properly. this was my 30 second smart moment so I hope you enjoyed it (even though this is super basic...)

Excellent tutorial. Clear explanation. Despite the video being nearly 16 minutes long, it certainly felt shorter than that. This tutorial was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

I can't believe I discovered such a genius so late. I blame RU-vid. I have been searching for all the right terms for your videos, but they never showed up until today. Anyway, I seeing you haven't uploaded for the last 9 months worries me though. Please don't stop making these videos. They are just perfect! ♥

THANK YOU SO MUCH! STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND FEEL LIKE I'VE ACHIEVED SOMETHING TODAY! THANK YOU!

I'm pretty new to unity. When you were fleshing out getting the ragdoll parts you said about writing collider then adding [ ] "which means it's an array". THANK YOU. I've added those from so many tutorials and you are the first person who actually said what they mean.

I love the way you do tutorials! Hopefully you decide to do more in the future

Hey :) Just wanted to let you know that you have a really fun and charismatic way of explaining things on a rather base level! Great job and wonderful sense of humour :'D

this is the exactly i was looking for from whole 5+ days lol subbed straight away❤❤

This 1 video taught me 2 things- 1. what the title said 2. foreach function (I rarely work with arrays so I never really came across it lol)

I know its a simple topic but it's still is the best explanation I've ever seen about Ragdoll On/Off switch. Definitely an absolute hit for beginners. Pls keep teaching stuff :) Edit : Just looked at that simple drawing explanations again and .. You're a very good teacher :)

i love the way you explained everything at the beginning, nice video

PLEASE DO MORE UNITY TUTORIALS! A good one to start with is a How to make an enemy attack using NavMesh tutorial! Many people need help with this ( I need help ) and it would a great tutorial

Best Unity tutorial i have ever seen. Pls continue tutorials!

Thanks ! Love the visual explanation, it's really good and on point.

Thank you. Simple and effective. i enjoy following you coding because you have a nice clean structurized way and explaining everything great so its really easy to understand! Not only to follow. Thanks witch :D Greetings from a witcher

Only 790 subs??? You are a godly coder, i cannot thank you enough. You dont know how important this is to my specific game.

very straight forward, thanks for the help! by the way what's that groovy song playing at the end?

This video saved my ver existance, thank you very much queen, you just won yourself a new sub!!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!!

That was a fantastic explanation, really fun and easy to follow and working well. Don't sell yourself short, you did a great job! edit: oops, spoke too soon.. I have a little problem with the mainCollider of the character: when RagdollModeOn is called and the mainCollider gets disabled, it just stays in place while the rest of the body ragdolls properly, creating this stretchy looking glitch. Am I missing something? The mainCollider is applied to the character model itself, where also the rigidbody and the animator are.

thank you so much i'see many tutorials but this tutorial helped me a lot keep it up btw love your channel

This was probably the most useful tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much for making it!

at Void start when i typed in RagdollModeOff it says it doesnt exist in that context, why?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH DEFO 100% deserved th follow the tav helped so much with my ideas THANK YOUUUU

Are you sent from god? Thats exactly what I needed to know, THANK YOU

Such a good, energetic, succinct tutorial. 👍

Can i have the script please? I'm working on a Sonic fangame called: Sonic the Hedgehog Blast/Sonic Hijinks/Sonic Test.

A less complex way would be to take in a parameter like so public void TurnOn(bool on) { foreach (var col in Colliders) { col.enabled = on; } foreach (var ps in parts) { ps.isKinematic = !on; } animator.enabled = !on; }

that's the best tutorial i've ever seen , very visual and dynamic

It’s only working for me if the object colliding with the rag doll has a rigid body on it

Easy to understand Thanks a lot!

how do we do it in sfm...

can i get that scout model plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

At 4:05, I prefer my ragdolls to be rad!

⚠️How do I do this but with a ray cast weapon⚠️

You are amazing :) Thank you so much. Very hopefull.

thank you!!, now i just have to figure out how make the nav mesh agent stop sliding when the they bump into each other

I think I am in love

I Get: error CS1520: Merhod must have a return type

all code) using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine; public class ragDollOn : MonoBehaviour { public BoxCollider MainCollider; public GameObject thisGuysRig; public Animator thisGuysAnimator; void Start() { GetRagdollBits(); RagdollModeOff(); } void Update() { if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.F)) isOnRagdoll(); } Collider[] RagdollColiders; Rigidbody[] LimbsRigitbodies; void isOnRagdoll() { RagdollModeOn(); } void GetRagdollBits() { RagdollColiders = thisGuysRig.GetComponentsInChildren(); LimbsRigitbodies = thisGuysRig.GetComponentsInChildren(); } void RagdollModeOn() { foreach (Collider col in RagdollColiders) { col.enabled = true; } foreach (Rigidbody rb in LimbsRigitbodies) { rb.isKinematic = false; } thisGuysAnimator.enabled = false; MainCollider.enabled = false; GetComponent().isKinematic = true; } void RagdollModeOff() { foreach (Collider col in RagdollColiders) { col.enabled = false; } foreach (Rigidbody rb in LimbsRigitbodies) { rb.isKinematic = true; } thisGuysAnimator.enabled = true; MainCollider.enabled = true; GetComponent().isKinematic = false; } }

U are well done, thanks❤

Great explanation , thanks

It's 5am, I started trying to make a working ragdoll at 12, I hate physics so much

Hi, if my Character has a script which follows the player and if I shoot a bullet at him he turn in to a ragdoll, but how to disable the script after he turned in to a ragdoll?

Is it possible to send the ragdoll flying by adding force?

thx

why isn't the collision working

Very well explained

hei do you know how to change character move speed via c# made with game creator?

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Nice tutorial! Thank a lot

Hol' up, You can't tease us with exploding skeletons like that. Any good sources for gibbing models like the final 10 seconds? Edit: Played around a bit, I found removing character joints achieves the effect mechanically, but the model stretches. Is the skeleton naturally split, or is there some method to achieve seperation?

Awesome, what about untriggering it then?

thank you thank you thank you!

PLS make sfm tutorial i really like to see (i like your vids btw)

Awesome tutorial thanks i want to simulate bullet force in character part like head or hand how can i disable animation for selection part(Hand) and make rogdoll work selection part? can Combine rogdoll physic and animation Togader 50-50?

Go just make your ragdoll character separate and instantiate on ragdoll 😊

Thanks Very Helpful .

how do i do the collider thing with my raycast bullets

poor scout lmao

your voice is awesome

scout!!!

+10 tutorial.

Great video wow!

you r amazing♥♥♥

DOPE

Tnx this tutorial help me alot

Super asmr

thank you sm!

But next time try to make some variables private, and call them on Awake 👍

Thank you beautiful

scoot tf2

chu chu chu chu at 3:23 . Thanks me late

hey kinda like the style of explaination with all the drawing stuff. Good for stupid people like me

Thank you very good straight forward tutorial!

Here when i deactivate RigidBody, CapsuleCollider and Animator the actor jumps like a explosion impact

Can you please next show how to apply a force! So when they get hit they go flying! :D

I'm guessing u can use this in conjunction with a simple a.i follower script.

At 11:47, how can I make sure those red animation "hint" boxes (not sure what the correct name is) are also moved with the model?

nope it only works like that when it starts in turns into a ragdoll

1:02 That's a rigidbody trust me😂😂😂

Very helpful tutorial, especially the drawing explaining the difference between the two modes is really cool. You could have simplified the C# script a bit by making only one function RagdollMode(bool enable) and then using the passed bool to switch everything off and on. Another interesting topic could be how to get the figures to stand up again after they have fallen over. Thanks for the explanation!

Just what I needed. Excellent!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Very in depth and very understandable, great job!

Hi I am your new subscriber P I want to learn sfm can you plz plz teach me any discord link plz

I know this video is old by internet standards but if you still read comments on this I could really use some help. I added this code to the starter assets 3rd person controller prefab, and it uses a character controller in the player armature section, which means that when the script tries to access the rigidbodies, it does so on the player armature and gets stuck because there isn't one there. I thought it would be a good idea to just add a rigidbody to it, and while it fixed that problem, it now makes the player spin clockwise uncontrollably. If you know how to fix this then I would really appreciate it

Brackeys tutorials but better! Thank you!

Thank you, really helpful

cute voice i love it

Super cool tutorial and your awesome way of teaching love it

Great tutorial! Now you get new subscriber and i will follow your best programming explanation.

Hi, great tutorial, would love to see you make one for procedurally animated character!

You have a really good explanation. Thank you for this beautiful tutorial.

hey could you share the script please . im bad at scripting and always make errors

thank you so much for your great tutorial you did a great job of explaining it

Source code ?

Хороший урок. Но у меня накопилось несколько вопросов: 1). Можно ли использовать много коллайдеров для этого скрипта(много, потому что на каждой части тела они будут расположены)? 2). Если персонаж после такого падает, как тогда реализовать его подъём и ПЛАВНОЕ переключение с функции Ragdoll на Animator? 3). Как реализовать сопротивление персонажа другому предмету? 4). Как настроить скрипт под силу удара о коллайдер? А в целом всё замечательно.

bro share you c#

really well made tutorial

You're amazing!
