My Approach

This system keeps the server as the source of truth while giving clients enough data to render the ragdoll smoothly.

At a high level, the component works by:

detaching the character mesh and simulating ragdoll on it
preserving movement momentum when ragdoll begins, so the body keeps traveling naturally instead of stopping and dropping straight down
optionally adding external launch velocity, such as being shot, blasted, or hit from a direction (Optional Launch Velocity vector requires values > 0 to have any effect on bone impact point.)
sampling key positional and rotational state from the server at a configurable rate
replicating root-body transform, linear velocity, and angular velocity
using interpolation and correction on clients so limbs and body motion look smoother between updates
keeping the capsule catching up behind the ragdoll so recovery can happen cleanly

Instead of trying to fully trust local client-side ragdoll simulation, this system prioritizes authoritative consistency first, then smooths the presentation on the client side.
