| '''Ragdoll physics''' are a new feature implemented in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. With ragdoll physics, the player and NPCs move, stagger, or fall down dynamically, depending on the location and severity of an attack or force (for example, being hit by a car or bullet). The affected model essentially behaves like a "ragdoll", hence the name. Ragdoll physics are mostly a graphical effect, but also affect gameplay -- when one is thrown from a vehicle, for example, the tumbling of the ragdoll dictates how much damage is inflicted. This renders motorcycle-riding a perilous option in GTA IV, compared to previous GTA games. | | {{expand}} |
| | '''[[wp:Ragdoll physics|Ragdoll physics]]''' is a new feature implemented in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. With ragdoll physics, players and NPCs lie on the ground dynamically. The affected model essentially behaves like a "ragdoll", hence the name. Characters no longer lie flat and static on surfaces. Their bodies will conform to any objects realistically and can be moved around by collisions and bullets. |

|
| Ragdoll physics are implemented in the following situations (there may be others):
| | ==See also== |
| *When jumping out of a moving vehicle
| | * [[Euphoria]] |
| *When being hit by a vehicle
| |
| *When burning
| |
| *When drunk
| |
| *When jumping from very high altitudes
| |
| *When dying
| |
| *When pushed by the protagonist (for NPCs)
| |
| *When shot (for NPCs). Both the protagonist and NPCs will "turn ragdoll" when thrown by an explosion.
| |
| * When on top of a moving train or car; the protagonist will "turn ragdoll", and fall off.
| |
| *When the player or NPCs are caught with their hand in the handle of a car while it is already moving.This causes them to be dragged for several meters and possibly to hit objects on the trajectory of the vehicle. | |
| | |
| There are some [[modifications]] which allow the player to enable or disable ragdoll physics at any time; these can, however, cause glitches (characters being stuck inside objects, for example).

| ==Trivia==
| |
| | |
| If the player is ragdoll and the fire button is held down then the player character will fire their weapon while ragdoll, any weapon can be used including the rocket launcher.
