You would make a seperate animation - attach it to your model via a bone --

when the bone is exposed (track view - hide/unhide) - the animation plays.

Look at the Refinery when the harvestor comes back -- see the arms coming out? and the T-Gas?
all animation.

(the WF is the same way)(in the bay)

I don't see why not, as the Chameleon has the rotating blades on the front (I wish those things did damage to vehicles).

There is a vehicle turorial around here somewhere....

Do a search of the forum - i dont have the link handy...

Also - hiding bones with the trackview is alot of turorials -- check out Dante's massive help file -(it has my animation tutorial in there - and you can use that information on any type of animation)

Example - when the muzzle bone fires - a w3d plays - showing the muzzle flash (unhide the muzzle - and children show - boom)

you attach the animation(w3d) to the bone ---

when the bone is un-hidden via the track view (by script - or damage levels to building) - anything attached to the bone will show...

Say - in a building - you would make a bone come on at frame 2 --- in track view- you would add a "visibility" controller line - then at the frames you want off - remove the line - and at the frames you want it on - have the line.

when the bone is shown - anything (childs) attached to it will show...

(better writeup in the W3D docs in the How-to directory)
