Hello good people , recently I have been attempting to make a basic action RPG engine. I've gotten mostly everything thus far but now I can't find a way to check for object collision with the sword, or in this case axe, without it including the entire model. I'm using psionic's dwarf model btw. I tried to glue an invisible object to a limb but it seems that the entire thing is one limb. I also tried positioning an invisible object where the axe is when he swings it but this method was not very effecient. I would greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to help me. .Thanks in advance.

Make an object out of the weapon limb then use it for collison. There is something weird about that model I cant manipulate its models properly.

For a sword I'd be tempted to cast a collision ray from the hilt to the tip of the blade...if the ray is broken you can retrieve the point of collision and such.
I'd use Good ol' Sparky's collision myself.
Hope that helps

either that or you could detect for collision with the whole object inbetween the animation frames that the sword (or axe) is being swung.
