Ragdolls turning into props
So I'm getting this problem with my ragdolls that, when spawned, they just t-pose and stand stiff, like a prop. I don't understand why this is; I though there was an issue with animation addons, but this doesn't seem to be the case. What's even stranger is that only certain addons are affected. Anyone else experiencing this?

iirc ragdolls spawn in unmovable t-poses if they lack a .phy file, first make sure the ragolls aren't actually just effects (have a green circle were the physgun can move them) instead.

I've also had a error remover addon which made ragdolls t-pose dont I don't remember what it was.

If a base game ragoll is affected try disabling all your addons, if the error is fixed then an addon is breaking your ragdolls, if not its an issue with GarrysMod itself.

If its an addon re-enable them in chunks at a time until you can find which one is causing the issue.

If its a game problem running the factory reset batch file (won't remove your addons but will reset addon data so backup any settings you want to keep, its in the "data" folder). would be a good start.

If that fails you'll probably need to reinstall.

Well, it ain't the base ragdolls, and they're not effects either. And, oddly enough, I've had addons whose ragdolls worked fine compared to the ones that are affected. Not only that, but I have over 2500 addons, excluding legacy addons, so disabling and re-enabling will consume a lot of time.

Oof.

yeah I'd say that at least one of them is causing conflicts.
and I thought my 500 was pushing it

This same exact issue is happening to me just recently. But I noticed it mostly tends to happen to addons that include two copies of models rigged for playermodels and NPCs respectively. The playermodel versions are the ones that have turned from functioning ragdolls to T-posed props, while the ones for NPCs ragdoll just fine, at least for me. Here are some screenshots.

Interestingly, with extended C menu tool addons (not sure if it really just came with the update) that let you set a selected ragdoll as your playermodel, you can use it on the working NPC ragdoll and go flopping around from shooting a rocket at your feet to your heart's content, except the game enforces the default, broken one on you after dying and respawning, and I don't know any other way to bypass this.

So basically, unless I can find the addons causing this issue, I'm screwed... :steamsad:

Because I am aware that NPC ragdolls are unaffected, too, but it's the player ragdolls that are the problem...

Thanks for telling me this, though...

Funny how this is still an ongoing problem. I had something similar where I'd spawn a character in, but they turn into t-posed props and flop to the side.

The details add up since I had it and it didn't do this before I installed the addon

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
