I'm not sure if this goes here but I feel this can be done with eventing. I just think I'm missing something honestly.

I basically got it to were my character swings a sword at the press of a button and an animation occurs and everything. there's a problem though, I can't figure out how to put a hitbox or something on the swing so that if it connects, it will trigger the event. Mind you, this is NOT an ABS. I just wanted it so if you hit the enemy first, you get a a first strike or something in battle. so I don't really need anything beyond just a hitbox for the sword swing and a way to trigger the event from there.
I came across this...
