So the event "Model Changer" 1 & 2 hasn't been understood properly for a while.
And in case you didn't know, an "index" is the number, id, location, etc of a node in a list starting from 0. So the first node in a list would have an index of 0, the second would have an index of 1, etc.
So here's how it works:
There's a node in the data section of each moveset called "Model Visibility". The model visibility node has references 1 & 2.
Reference 1 is for the event Model Changer 1, and Reference 2 is for the event Model Changer 2. Each reference has switches.
Each switch node has multiple groups of bones located in them.
It's just like VIS0. Those are bones that are attached to objects. When the bone group is turned on, all objects attached to all the bones in the group will become visible.
Each switch node has one value in it that you can modify. That value is the index of the group of bones that will be visible at the start of every subaction.
Now to explain what the actual event does.
The event has two parameters: - Switch Index - Bone Group Index
I believe this is self explanatory: Switch index is the index of the switch to select groups from. Bone Group index is the index of the group of bones that you want visible.
Using the model changer will make only that group of bones visible. All other bone groups will be turned off.
Now if you set the Bone Group Index to a value less than zero or greater than the amount of groups available, all objects will become invisible.
I think that explains it all. Feel free to ask questions or correct me on anything if I'm wrong. I'll have pictures up... sometime. Although you really shouldn't need them if you can see already.

mmmmmk I just made the tutorial because now the model visibility node is fully editable (you can add new switches, groups and bones) and I wanted people to know exactly how it works with the event. Tabuu made it kinda hard to understand before.

Yep, but he just used the changer for Mario's hair polygons.

I make YouTube videos, SM64 hacks, Brawl Hacks (obviously), NSMBW hacks, and GoldenEye 007 Mods. I also have a short attention span and tend to switch around a lot and put things on hold. But when I do finish things, 95% of the time I gave 120% effort, the other 5% of the time I give 100% effort.

You know how when u set the eyellowm to turn on during the final smash, you can "add" an extra object: So does this mean we can still "add" an extra object when the eyeyellowm calls for it but at the same time have the power to "disable" another object???
now that would be epic...

Yep, just add another bone into the same bone group as EyeYellowM.

i guess look into the model visibiltiy stuff and "delete" one group of objects???[
what im trying to say is that is it possible to disable an object during final smash instead of enabling an object?

Just make a new bone group that's the same as the other one but remove the bones you don't want visible. Then just switch to that group when you want the bones off.

All right, so I think I know what you're saying, If I add a couple of bone switches, then call them in BB, then I can add them by using Model Changer. I'm testing it first, then I'm going to post pictures if it works. Thanks for this tutorial, I'll ask questions if I need help. Edit: I think I did something wrong. I added a couple of bone switchers to the first, (Reference 1.) I've added a couple of bones to the model I'm using, so tell me if that is the problem. OK, the picture of the bone reference adds... (Note that there was no error on save) here's what happens on BB. Please tell me what I did wrong? Also, here is the one I edited: http://www.mediafire.com/?pdarxz117o7z6p1

So I see how you can make Ikaros' eyes change to red version when she attacks.
