The secret sauce. After a hit, you don't want the character to flop forever.
: Special items allowed players to change size (growing into giants or shrinking) or modify gravity, further distorting how the physics engine handled their body weight. Current Status & Legacy

A Scripted Ragdoll Engine turns your characters from "actors" into "actual objects." When a player shoots a guard in your game, I don't want them to see a death animation. I want them to see a body react exactly to the bullet's force, stumble over a chair, and grab the table on the way down. Current Status & Legacy Happy physics debugging
The engine functions by dynamically disabling a character's joints—the internal connectors that hold a Roblox avatar together—and replacing them with BallSocketConstraints or similar physics attachments.
