So, I've loaded the CMT arms and Assault Rifle into Max. I've linked the farme gun to the fame bone24. When I try to import the animation, I get this:

you did it backwards/

link fame bone24 to the frame gun instead/

Gosh it's been a while, and I know I said this to someone earlier but I don't recall how that turned out.

No, he's linking it correctly, but you also need to link frame gun to frame r wrist. Then link it to frame bone24. Or maybe it's the reverse order. I can never recall, I always link frame gun to both until it worked. Sometimes it still gave me errors and I hit "okay" and it worked.

So either try:
1) Link frame gun to frame bone24 (make sure you do it to the correct bone24, sometimes there are two when you import the weapon. I know one belonged to the weapon sometimes when you import, but you want...I think the actual bone. It should be a gray diamond sorta between the shoulders.)
2) Link frame gun to frame r wrist (I usually hide or freeze the arm mesh itself to make sure I link this correctly)

Or, reverse the order of 1 and 2 and do it 2-1.

And sorry for the super long post for something that should (and is) simple. I'm just old and senile these days so I can't remember much or put my words into coherent enough sentences anymore. Whoops.

I did the first order and it gave me that error. Hmmmm I'll try the second method. Nope, it didn't work, the models are all over the place!
