Reloading Gun problem ?

I would like to help me to figure out what’s going with my animation when I try to export into unity.

Let me introduce to this , I need to start a good workflow for using blender and unity for FPS animation , I decided to start with a simple character ( 2 hands and a Rifle for now ) , then when I feel confortable with , I like to incorporate a complete 3D character (biped and full body ) .

this is my “gyazo” gif where you can see the main problem (see below this first link to gyazo).

Link for my Gyazo gif…(click below, let begin the animation’s gif a few seconds)

as you can see there is not “mag” (magazine) . So I atribute that to the “mask modifier” ? ( I ve used this modifier to hide the magazine and pick up a new one) as you can see, the player drops the magazine and pick up a new one from one of his pocket )

1 - Here’s in the first image I use “mask modifier” to hide it in the next keyframe “50” , the image is showing you keyframe number “49” (49/132). to create the ilution of take another one from his pocket for example .


2 - here in this keyframe I put “I” and press in the eye button to hide the respective magazine.


3 - I have IK constraints in Left and Righ hand to move the character , and I have some “contraints” too. How can I resolve this problem. Here’s is the image of the “contraint” tab and this relation between bones.


4 - Now it is time to export this model in “fbx” format to check a test for animation and deformation in unity , I did NOT bake the animation …could be another reason ? well let me show my export parameters setting for this exporting process.

5 - the another options “armature” and animaton" , I ve chosen these.

6 - If I apply “all the modifier” in the exportion process I lost my work for hiding the “magazine” I do not how to appear or disappear bones in animation. and could not find for bones, just for default’s objects. I realised then , if I Do not apply the modifier I lost another things too.

7 - With that setting I entered to unity in “rig” configuration I put “legacy” and Apply root. THen go for “animation” tab (in unity) chose the “reloading” animation and hit play button , but the mag…never appears to the Unity’s project… what’s I am ignoring or doing wrong?

as you can see in the final image, there is not mag ( mag is not another objects , is part of m4a1) I think Unity do not supports Constraint or perphaps was a really bad Idea to create an animation with “masking modifier” just to hide the magazine. I do not how to hide “bones” for animation? If I apply “masking modifier” the mag dissapears too because masking modifier is useful when is “active” ? .
9 - Please help me , If you want to understood too or just helping me , I upload the file . Here is the link I ve search for masking modifier. (Link for he masking modifier)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQFky6fWu8Y … I think this modifier is good but not for exporting (cause You may apply the modifier in the exporting process, so that is the way …it dissapears)
