Connecting two ragdolls via springjoint

Hi all

I have question regarding using spring joints in a ragdoll.
Basically, I am familiar with using spring joints on primitive objects (e.g. have a sphere and a cube connected via a spring jont then drag one around and watch the other follow).

So, I’m trying to apply this to two ragdoll, so that when one moves the other is pulled along.
Here are the steps that I took, after which the two ragdolls still behave independent of one another (no spring between them):

1) Create ragdoll A in editor.
2) Duplicate ragdoll (ragdoll B).
3) Select the root object in the hierarch of ragdoll A add Component ‘Spring Joint”
4) Drag the root object of ragdoll B in to the ‘Spring Joint -> Target’ component.
5) Click play drag ragdoll A around (I’m using the standard DragRigidBody’ script

So, what’s wrong?
I also tried the above but using a bone in the skeleton (head) instead of the root object.

Still has no spring effect at all.

Why does the above work for primitives but not ragdoll?

 

Does the root object of the ragdoll have a rigidbody attached?

 

yes it does !

 

yes it does !

 

This is the same problem I'm having. I have a fixed joint between two rigid bodies yet they don't stay connected.

 

any news in this?
