This is useful when a magazine or another mesh part must disappear during an action. ## Add it to an animation
  1. Open the Animation Sequence or Montage used by the relevant mesh.
  2. Right-click a notify track at the desired frame and choose `BP_AnimNotify_SetBoneVisibility` from **Add Notify**.
  3. Select the notify and configure its exposed settings in **Details**.
  4. Preview the timing, then test the action in play with the owning actor present.
## Example: hide an item part On a copied item animation, choose a bone from that item’s Skeleton and hide it at the required frame. Add a matching show event when it returns. Check the result on the equipped item, including interruption and holstering. ## Settings
PropertyUse
`MagBoneName`Bone to hide or show on the animated mesh.
`Hide`Enabled calls `Hide Bone by Name`; disabled calls `Un Hide Bone by Name`.
The notify operates on `MeshComp`, the mesh playing the animation. It does not search for another weapon or character mesh. Visibility persists after the notify fires. Add a matching show notify, and restore visibility when an interrupted action needs cleanup. ![BP\_AnimNotify\_SetBoneVisibility Received Notify graph](https://mintcdn.com/kinemation/SNGN1MO-2cou2Sl-/images/kinemation/unreal/BP_AnimNotify_SetBoneVisibility_Received_Notify_00000.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=SNGN1MO-2cou2Sl-\&q=85\&s=9e6a98b82952f9534989262c288b5583) BP\_AnimNotify\_SetBoneVisibility acts on the mesh playing the animation.
