How do I animate a melee attack in 3d?

got a problem, i can go into 3d mode, run around. i can spawn a 3d object in front of player (meele attack). set its side to a sprite, it plays the animation. super

but i want the block to disappear after.

there isn't a ^when animation ends^ trigger for a 3d block.. i put in a wait on created then destroy.

but the animation no longer plays

i could ignore it as its invisible..... surely that will clutter performance?

any advice? thanks all

That honestly sounds like a waste of memory.

A better solution would be to always have that one 3D object as a collision box in front of you, always set to invisible. Then you'd have a separate animation skin on top of it.

On (press of a button) - set 3D-Object collisions enabled

- Animation-Sprite play animation

On Animation-Sprite is finished - set 3D-Object collisions disabled
