I must be an idiot but i still can't assign vertices to joints in Milkshape.

What is the matter with my brain?

I made this as a test to animate:



And everytime I select a joint and try to select the vertexes/vertices it deselects the joint

What am I doing wrong?

As long as the joint it still selected in that list, you are ok. Select the joint in that list, select the vertices, then click assign.

oh ok. Then if I move the joint, the vertices should follow, rihgt?

Yes, when you are in animation mode.
