[Unity] How to do Ragdoll transitions

Zaphire

I am not sure if a lot of people on this forum have had a lot of experience with Ragdolls in Unity but there is one issue I cannot really find on the internet without going through some complex methods.

What is the correct/best way to take a Ragdoll and when the player dies have the Ragdoll instantiate and be in the exact position the player's animation was last? Or is it a Ragdoll that have all its rigidbodies disabled and then enabled on death?

Help and examples would be really appreciated

I have no idea what the correct way is, however in Nocturne I did it by just pausing the animation then enabling them.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class RagdollActivator : MonoBehaviour
{
  public List<Rigidbody> Rigidbodies;

  void Start()
  {
    SetRagdollState(false);
  }

  public void SetRagdollState(bool active)
  {
    for (var rb = 0; rb < Rigidbodies.Count; rb++)
    {
      Rigidbodies[rb].isKinematic = !active;
    }
  }
}

Here is a good explanation with a sample project
