NPC Ragdoll NoCollider

What is this, in short?

This addon is a little bit of LUA code that makes it so serverside NPC death ragdolls do not collide with players by default. (These are the bodies when Keep Corpses is turned on in Sandbox, for example). It can also be changed to ignore more entities, but still retain the features of serversided ragdolls.

Why is this useful exactly?

There are a few reasons why this addon might be useful, but it won't be for everyone. This is mostly intended to solve little annoyances some people may have. One way you might use it is as a companion addon for something like RagBlood, which only works on NPCs when Keep Corpses is turned on. You could also use this as an anti-minging solution if you want serverside ragdolls for NPCs, but without the players throwing them at each other. Most importantly, you might just want NPC ragdolls to be in the same place on every connected client and be able to pick them up with the physgun, or have them collide with props; this all without the annoyance of entities getting stuck and/or dying on them.

Limitations and compatibility

This addon may or may not work with other addons that change how serverside NPC ragdolls work. Anything that affects players should work, but it's not guaranteed. I've only really tested this on regular NPCs. Custom bots or SNPCs or anything that changes NPC serverside ragdolls is not guaranteed to work, but might. This addon is probably not recommended for dismemberment mods, though I have not tested those either. They usually change how ragdolls work anyways, or have their own collision solution.

If you have any results for addon compatibility or bugs, please let me know, and I can update this description.
