Convert Item Animations?

[chilla_killa]

Hey Hive,
I'm very new to modelling and I started working with Milkshape 3D.
I've made some item models, that should work like the gold coin item.
(Pick it up -> get gold). The gold coin model has a stand animation where it turns around. And if you pick it up it disappears (death animation).

Now my question is:
Is it possible to use the animations of the gold coin for my own models?
How can I do this?
Or must I do it all on myself in Milkshape?
If yes, how does this work?

Please help me.

just replicate the bone structure of the gold coin and transfer the animations.

So is the bone structure of the coin only an axis?
How can I see bones in Magos?
And where do I find the coin model?

look into the magos' mpq browser, select war3x.mpq and look for the coin(I would suggest to filter only mdx/mdl files). To see the bones look into the Node Manager.
