Remarks

Ragdolls without motors react to collisions, but are passive. Motors can be used to actively move the limbs to a target position.

A ragdoll motor is either a velocity motor or a constraint motor, see Mode. See the description of RagdollMotorMode for more information.

A constraint motor controls the orientation of a bone relative to its parent bone. Usually, the parent of a bone can be determined using the Skeleton (see method GetParent(Int32)). But often a ragdoll does not have a rigid body for each bone of the skeleton - some bones are "skipped" for performance reasons. For a ragdoll motor the parent bone should be set to the bone to which the controlled bone is connected.

Damping only:
Constraint motors with a positive ConstraintDamping value and a ConstraintSpring of 0 can be used to create a passive, damped ragdoll. Damping is very helpful to bring jittering ragdolls to rest.
