Is there a way so your animated unit addon doesnt dissapear when your unit is flying with a jetpack or force hover ability, like a way to change the unit odf so it just wont dissapperate (am i spelling that right?[dis-ap-per-ate])into thin air?

Okay, an animated unit addon, i guess you mean for example the wookiee dreads? If so, these NEVER dissapear from the unit; he is one with the unit.. Could you show us an ingame pic of what you mean?

Attach an addon mesh like this:
AnimatedAddon = "NAMEITWHATEVERYOUWANT"
GeometryAddon = "msh_name"
AddonAttachJoint = "bone_name"
This addon will ALWAYS stay on the unit.. I don't see your point on flying or hovering.. An addon ALWAYS stays on the unit, since it's munged on the unit.. Hope this helps?

But what im trying to say is for example, i attatch a pauldron (yes wazmols

) to a jet trooper, when i use my jet pack, the addon just dissappears but once i de-activate my just pack, the addon will reappear.

I can confirm that this happens, but I don't think there is a solution.
Only thing you can do is import the model, put the pauldron on the unit, do the other stuff like enveloping, then re-export.
Or just live with it.

I guess ill just live with it. This can be locked, but only if you are CERTAIN there is no fix for this!

Yep, the addon geometry disappearing when jet jumping is a known issue and there is no known solution, just work-arounds.

COrrection:
The wookie Dreads DO disappear when you fly using FC.
