this is this right board foo,
to do a sword anim you could do it in a 3d modelling package which is the best option as it saves tonnes of code and you can view/edit it in a 3d view and all sorts, but it would require you to learn a 3d modelling program which would take a while, so you could find someone to make a sword anim, or try to learn a 3d modelling package that does animation and is suited for use in dbc/dbp milkshape would be your best bet, or you could code a basic sword swing in db which maybe very painstaking and fiddeley.
[edit] just realised this is code snippest board, you posted this in the wrong board foo
