Ah, it seems the error persists on the same line. This strongly suggests the script might be running in the wrong environment or an older version is still active. The error message `Workspace.MELLOMLIAXXMAIN.LocalScript:175` indicates the script causing the error is named `LocalScript` and is running directly inside the character in the `Workspace`. **This script is designed to run as a Server Script, not a Local Script.** LocalScripts have different permissions and contexts, which can lead to errors like this, especially when dealing with physics and character manipulation intended to be visible to everyone. **Please ensure you are doing the following:** 1. **Delete any script named `LocalScript` inside your character model (`Workspace.MELLOMLIAXXMAIN`) that contains this ragdoll code.** Also, remove it from `StarterPlayer/StarterCharacterScripts` if you placed it there. 2. **Place the script code provided below into a regular `Script` (not a LocalScript) inside `ServerScriptService`.** Rename this script to something descriptive, like `RagdollBalanceV2`. 3. **Use the separate loader script (also placed in `ServerScriptService`)** that I provided in the previous response. This loader script is responsible for cloning the `RagdollBalanceV2` script from `ServerScriptService` into each player's character model when they join or respawn. Here is the code again for the main `RagdollBalanceV2` script (intended for `ServerScriptService`). There are no changes from the previous version, as the `Plane.new` error was already addressed.

Instead, it listens for changes to its own `Attributes` (`TriggerRagdoll`, `TriggerReset`, `IsRagdolled`) which are set by the `RagdollLoader` script. * The `Heartbeat` loop now runs constantly but checks `isRagdolled` and attribute triggers at the start. 2. **`ServerScriptService/RagdollLoader.lua` (Script):** * This script runs once on the server. * It listens for players joining (`PlayerAdded`) and their characters spawning (`CharacterAdded`). * It **clones** `RagdollBalanceV2` from `ServerScriptService` into the newly added character. * It creates `RemoteEvent`s in `ReplicatedStorage` for communication. * It listens for events fired from the client (`OnServerEvent`) and sets the appropriate `Attribute` on the character's `RagdollBalanceV2` script to trigger the action. 3. **`StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts/RagdollInputClient.lua` (LocalScript):** * This script runs on each player's client. * It listens for keyboard input (`R` and `Y`). * When a key is pressed, it fires the corresponding `RemoteEvent` (`ToggleRagdollEvent` or `ResetRagdollEvent`) to notify the server. **To Implement:** 1. **Clean Up:** Delete any old ragdoll scripts from your character or `StarterCharacterScripts`. 2. **Create Scripts:** Create the three scripts exactly as shown above in the specified locations (`ServerScriptService` and `StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts`). Make sure the script names match (`RagdollBalanceV2`, `RagdollLoader`, `RagdollInputClient`). 3. **Run:** Test the game. The loader should automatically put the server script into your character, and the client script should handle input, telling the server script (via RemoteEvents and Attributes) when to ragdoll or reset. This setup correctly separates server logic from client input and should resolve the environment-related errors.
