Ragdolls and Dismemberment in Godot (easy peasy)

[@SmartApe25]

can we apply a force in the direction of the hit ? if yes whats the fuction for that and where to place it ? After Starting the skeleton physical simulation?

I should have included this in the video
For knockback, create this function in the hitbox code:
func apply_knockback():
var knockback_direction = parent.transform.basis.z
parent.velocity = knockback_direction * knockback_strength
and call this function in the take_damage() function
If you mean applying force to the ragdoll simulation, you can put something like this in your projectile or gun code:
if collider is PhysicalBone3D:
var knockback_direction = -transform.basis.z
collider.linear_velocity = knockback_direction * knockback_strength
