how do i make collisions animate with the mesh in 3d max? i know how to key note and all that what i dont understand is y when i export nif/with manager it dont move but has the name of the animation key's...

but with nif/w animation it moved but collision stays still and dont have key notes ?

the controller sequences that export with nif/w manager are crap. I export the nif w manager for the mesh. then export kf for the sequences. I use the civ4 plugin for kfs. but you can also export kf with niftools.

to get collision to animate with the node you are animating, just have it linked to the ninode the animation is targeting,
