Ok, i've been wondering this: say I have a level with a door that opens when u reach a certain position. I animate this in max but i don't want to export it as two different .X files I want to export only the animation of the door and keep the door within the level. could it be done? or do I need to make the closed door one file, the animation door another and the level another? If you don't understand what I mean, let me know. and I'll explain

unless it's a non-standard door, wouldn't you rotate the door, instead of animate it?

The easiest would be exporting open and close door in one .X file.
Then you can use the command
play object id, start, end to either open or close the door. (ie. 1 -> 20 = open door, 20 -> 40 = close door)
You can close the door or set the door open without having animation by using set object frame id, frame, which will instantly change the current frame number of the object.

If you want to save the animation separately from the file, you can try using DBC's own animation commands.

I hope it helped.
