A while back steve posted a question on making a ragdoll for a bet, and I helped him solve it. But in all honesty, I wasn't very happy with the outcome. I wanted it to be like a ragdollsoft ragdoll or this: http://students.washington.edu/axchos/physics/ragdoll.html

After many sleepless nights and playless days (awesome saying ) I finally got something to work, here:
http://niallmeister.deviantart.com/art/Angular-Constraints-Ragdoll-D-98131989

It's not of much importance to you guys, but I just wanted to show off a bit.
Technically I cheated a bit and instead of using angular constraints I used invisible springs between joints, but it's still cool I think.

I MIGHT give out the source at some point but after the work I put into it I'm not sure.

So yeah, I'm happy

Discuss?

Are you going to add anymore things to it? Say, things for the ragdoll to interact with (maybe another ragdoll)? Or things like elastic bands that you could string two things together or something of the like.

Why does everyone who learn to program ragdolls just stop at that, and make uncreative stuff with them? I'd like to see a ragdoll fighting game, that'd be awesome.. Well, i shouldn't say anything, since i know nothing about coding. Great ragdoll anyway!

axcho.deviantart.com - he made Braids Neon and other, they're ragdoll fighting games.
Also, ragdollsoft.com are awesome.

And yes, of course I won't stop there, I'm not that boring

That's great. It does look like it's a solid ragdoll simulation you've got, I'm expecting great things.

Don't disappoint me.

I think Brad said to PM him if there was a thread you wanted him to check out. Or you could just wait.....

And yes, don't disappoint me either. It would be awesome if you could somehow make it into a platform game, though I don't know how it would work with all the ragdoll stuff. It would be unique, though.

Just got back on the internet after losing my access for a week. Read more on Random Discussion.

Well, you could have it so that it was like a platformer where when you die, the stickman becomes a ragdoll. Or have a game that's similar to PAIN (from PSN) in 2D flash form. Where you basically shoot a ragdoll at things with a giant slingshot and try and get points.

Ah... ragdoll cannon. That was a good physics-based game. But I was imagining something different. Where, it's environment-based and not with a specific objective to target at (like PAIN).

I don't know if this would be possible, but i think a ragdoll fighting game should work kinda like..

Each bodypart could have different health values of health, once killed, it cannot be controlled. If head gets killed, you lose.
Legs have strenght and keeps the character standing, but gradually weakens when hurt. One button pushes one leg forwards (kick), with greater strenght the more health the leg has. The damage dealt depends on the velocity of the leg while hitting target.
Arms can be forced forwards with another button (punch) and work like kick, but quicker and less powerful.
Torso/body could be foced forwards with a third button, to enable movement. No walking herer, thrusting yourself forwards is the thing!

Well, this is just an idea that i think could be sweet if it worked. Though, you do what you think would be best.

Lolawesome.

I just might try something like that, thanks for the idea

That is a good idea. Maybe do something akin to AC where one button controls one limb. Obviously, you'd need to work out a good combination or allow them to control the controls. If you do get round to making this fighting game, I wanna test it!
