Animation help

[Makanix]

as far as i got was to link the joint and face and move it with the slider bar. but i need to scale the face so it fits into the rest of the model. when i scale it down it doesnt go back to normal... i also would like to know how to get this to work with a script. i need this for my lightsaber, but the hilt and the blade are the same size...

You can animate it so that the blade retracts right?  To make it disappear, I think animations can use the hide control.  So just when it reaches the handle, just hide it as part of the animation.

But I'm saying that it's longer than the handle and will go through the other end. It also the same size so you can see it through the handle...
