[SOLVED] A qusetion about animating in Milkshape

Hey everyone! I have a question for my fellow Milkshape users and specifically, animators.
Being the noob at animating I am, i'm unable to figure out how to remove a Mesh/Joint from the animation for a certain keyframe, for example removing the arrow from a bow after it's shot. Explaining that to me will help me greatly.
+rep will be rewarded ofcourse.

You can either scale it by 0, or do the proper thing and use geoset animations, which are not related to Milkshape.

Bones can be scaled in Milkshape?
Otherwise, I just did it with geoset anims, thanks to -Grendel's post here, though it is a fair pain in the ass until you find the proper geoset name and frames to make the animation.
Thanks

I don't know what capabilities Milkshape has in regards to animation, but Warcraft 3 supports scaling keys.
That said, it's better to use geoset animations for performance, since that lets the game not render the geoset to begin with.

I use the Visibility track through the curve editor, not sure if Milkshape has a function like that - it should, I guess.

Well, Milkshape is quite primitive when it comes to animation... and also buggy as hell.
Perhaps I should really try some other programs
