Excessive ragdolling

[Internet-justice]

Ragdoll physics can be a lot of fun, but lately they have been abused and spammed resulting in server crashes. Can we have a rule against this?

orly now? I think there's only like 3 admins (that actually still play) that can ragdoll. Unless mods can ragdoll, but I'm pretty sure not. And I think this would be better in the complaint department, but this should do just fine.

Give me the names of the admins who are doing that. They should NOT be doing this.

No, I mean the ragdoll physics on dead bodies. Things like picking up bodies and banging them into walls.

[Deth V]

OH!

I'll look into disabling them all together, anything to stop server crashes.

Yeah, It is the physics that are doing it. So basicly when a player is killed, the player turns into a ragdoll. Garry's Mod then forces the ragdoll to the ground, this is our problem. The physics are messed up at the moment.

Solution:

sv_removecrazyphysics 0

or:

Code: Select all

-- The only truly effective way to prevent all kinds of velocity and
-- inertia is motion disabling the entire ragdoll for a tick
-- for non-ragdolls this will do the same for their single physobj

hook.Add("Think","AMB_CrashCatcher",function()
	for k, ent in pairs(ents.FindByClass("prop_ragdoll")) do
		if IsValid(ent) then
			if ent.player_ragdoll then
				if ent:GetVelocity( ):Length() >= 1500 then
					for i=0, ent:GetPhysicsObjectCount()-1 do
						local subphys = ent:GetPhysicsObjectNum(i)
						if IsValid(subphys) then
							subphys:EnableMotion(false)
						end
				   	end
					ServerLog("[!CRASHCATCHER!] Caught velocity > 1500 on a ragdoll entity, negating velocity and temporarily disabling motion.\n")
					timer.Create( "AMB_ReEnable_Motion", 2.5, 1, function()
						if IsValid(subphys) then
							subphys:Wake()
						end
					end)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

I would suggest using the code... If that does not work, let me know and I will tweak the numbers.
