Physics experiments

Realistic Ragdoll Engine Physics is best approached as a controlled sandbox experiment, not as a fixed weapon or damage list. Start with one Ragdoll, choose one interaction, and change only the position, force, angle, or surrounding object you are testing. This makes it easier to tell whether a different result came from the tool or from the setup.

Set up a repeatable test

1. Place one target. Select or generate a Ragdoll and put it in a clear area. Check for nearby Obstacles, since hidden objects can change its route and collision result.
2. Choose one interaction. Begin with throwing, a projectile, a blade, a spike, crushing, or a movement test. Do not combine several forces on the first attempt.
3. Record the setup. Note the target's position, the contact point, the approach angle, and whether it is already injured or dead.
4. Repeat once. Run the same setup again before changing it. A single impact is not enough to establish a fixed damage value or guaranteed reaction.
5. Change one input. Move the contact point, alter the angle or distance, or replace the environmental object. Compare the motion, collision, and damage state after each change.

This method is useful because the supplied evidence supports a relationship between force or hit location and the dummy's reaction, but it does not provide a numerical physics formula, a complete tool list, or fixed damage values.

Test the main Physics interactions

Throwing and impact

Use a clear floor or open area to observe momentum, flight, landing, and follow-up collisions. The supplied video evidence explicitly mentions throwing a ragdoll, but it does not establish the key, force levels, unlock condition, or a maximum range. Treat the throw as an observed interaction rather than a documented ability with fixed settings.

For a useful comparison, keep the target and starting position the same, then compare a changed direction or contact point. Watch whether the dummy travels, stops, falls, or hits another object. Nearby walls, spikes, and other dummies can become part of the result.

Spikes, projectiles, and blades

Repeat collision tests with one contact surface at a time. The available material shows spike and piercing experiments, including projectiles passing through a ragdoll. The practical decision is where to place the target and how to keep the approach reproducible—not which undocumented weapon has the highest damage.

If a sword or another tool fails after the target dies or changes state, reset the setup instead of assuming the weapon is permanently ineffective. Try revival where available, reposition the target, and test again with a different angle or tool. The evidence records this failure pattern but does not identify a definitive cause.

This moment supports the section's advice to reset or change the setup after throwing a ragdoll and finding that the swords no longer work.

Crushing

Move the target into the area shown or described as a crushing setup, then observe the pressure and resulting movement or damage. The experiment is documented, but the formal device name, exact location, trigger, and operating controls are not. Do not present a guessed location or activation method as a walkthrough.

Flight and obstacles

Flight can extend a physics test into the air: use it to compare airborne position, unusual movement, and high or long collisions. The evidence confirms flight appears in the game, but not how to activate it, how long it lasts, or whether it requires a condition.

Before comparing results, inspect the route for Obstacles. Hidden obstacles can redirect or stop a ragdoll, making two apparently identical tests produce different outcomes. Clear the path when measuring a throw; include the obstacle deliberately when testing collision behavior.

Connect Physics to damage states

Physical contact can lead to damage states such as paralysis, blood loss, brain injury, decapitation, or cardiac arrest. Use the damage guide to record these as outcomes to observe, not as guaranteed results for a named tool. The supplied evidence does not give probabilities, thresholds, or a damage chart.

When a target dies, Revival can support another test if the game allows it. Recheck the target's state after recovery: the recorded sword failure shows that a revived or otherwise changed target may not behave like the original test subject. Keep the first result and the recovery result separate in your notes.

Ragdoll-versus-ragdoll tests

Multiple dummies can fight each other, so Physics is not limited to player-versus-target experiments. Place two or more Ragdoll entities apart, start with a clear arena, and then introduce one environmental object or weapon. This isolates whether the observed movement comes from another dummy's collision, the tool, or the environment.

Use the same repeat rule here: reset the positions, repeat the interaction, and change only one variable. The evidence confirms the interaction exists, but does not document a separate fighting mode, combat rules, or a complete roster of entities.

What is not documented

No usable entity pages are documented for this topic. As a result, this guide does not claim specific control keys, unlock requirements, force levels, timers, exact device locations, weapon statistics, collision numbers, or a complete list of interactive objects. In-game behavior should take priority if it differs from a recorded video observation.

FAQ

Is Physics a weapon category?

No. The evidence describes it as a broader framework covering force, collisions, movement, environmental devices, weapons, and ragdoll states.

Why did the same tool produce a different result?

Change in hit location, force, contact angle, target state, or nearby objects can change the reaction. Repeat the setup and vary one of those inputs at a time.

Can I use flight for a guaranteed high-impact test?

No guaranteed impact or flight control is documented. Flight is confirmed as an observed interaction, while its activation and limits remain unknown.

Where is the crushing setup?

Its exact location and formal name are not established by the supplied evidence. Use the described crushing experiment as a lead, not as a confirmed map route.
