Character Props

Is it possible to make character props attach to the character bones and detatch from the character bones whenever I want mid animation? I'm still new to this animator and I'm trying to figure this out. lol

No.

But you can duplicate the prop layer and have one attached, the other unattached. Switch visibility when needed.

about switching visibility. How do I do that? I haven't gotten it to work in the middle of an animation yet. I also have "Allow animated layer effects" enabled.

edit: Mevermind. I figured it out. lol

go to a frame you want to hide the layer on.
open the layer properties
un-check the visibility switch.
press ok

that should set a key frame to hide the layer
