I am trying to figure out how to stop ragdolls from disappearing after respawning players. I haven't found any specific cvars that disable this currently. To be clear I want ragdolls to persist until the round restarts.

My current thought is to create a ragdoll and try to have it match up perfectly to the existing one. I doubt this is feasible due to the client side placement versus server side.

Any thoughts?

Players only get 1 ragdolls, that's why it removes when the player spawns.
It's possible to spawn server-side ragdolls, however they can affect cpu load when moving.
There really isn't a way to do this without cause some kind of lag on the server or clients..

I've never experimented with Ragdolls for the sheer fact that they are cancer for servers, but perhaps you could spawn a ragdoll that doesn't move. It could be less CPU intensive. I might be interested enough to open CSJoe SDK and try myself.

You can try spawning Prop_dynamic and fire become ragdoll which would create client side ragdoll instead

My thought was to spawn one that has already fallen (on the ground) and overlay it to be identical, then remove the original. This way I can link to the player in some way and have it persist. The trouble I have is making it so the client doesn't see a ragdoll teleporting around since they may view it one location while the server places it somewhere different.
