Attach a Ragdoll to a Vehicle
Seat a ragdoll on a bicycle or attach it to a scooter, fit the character and vehicle sizes, and keep the rider connected during play.
Creator guide
How to attach a rider
- Place a ragdoll and a Mountain Bike, City Bicycle, Road Bicycle or Scooter in the level.
- Open Ragdoll Settings and turn off Enable Movement. Stand, Balance and Walk must be disabled before attaching.
- Choose Attach To Vehicle, select the bicycle or scooter in the scene, and confirm the attachment. Cancel leaves the scene unchanged.
- If the sizes do not fit, use the resize popup to choose whether to resize the ragdoll or the vehicle, or cancel and adjust the setup yourself.
- Play on flat ground and check the rider and vehicle together. Configure the vehicle drive controls separately, then save your level.
Creator guide
Rider controls
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Attach To Vehicle | Choose a supported bicycle or scooter in the scene. The editor fits a riding pose and creates the attachment joints. |
| Detach From Vehicle | Remove the generated rider connections so the ragdoll can be edited separately again. |
| Enable Movement | Turn this off before attachment. Stand, Balance or Walk would compete with the riding pose. |
| Ragdoll Skin | Change the rider skin while attached. Body size and structural edits may require detaching first. |
Creator guide
What holds the rider in place
On a bicycle, the hands, feet and pelvis attach with additional revolute joints. On a scooter, the hands connect to the handlebar and the feet are welded to the deck. The ragdoll keeps its anatomical joints.
The vehicle still uses its existing drive system. The rider attachment does not add a pedal-to-wheel transmission or a scooter kick motor. Skateboards are not supported by Attach To Vehicle.
Creator guide
Why attachment can fail
The hands or feet cannot reach
Choose one of the resize options. The character needs to reach the seat, handlebar and pedals within its joint limits.
The rider is attached but the vehicle does not move
Check the vehicle motor, drive wheels and input settings. Rider attachment alone does not power the wheels.
