OnMeleeHitZone

A player’s swing reached a target zone.

Half a second after the swing began, the server reaches from the player’s chest along their facing as far as the drawn weapon reaches (a fist about a metre) and calls this for every zone marked with SetZoneHittable the reach enters. It is a reach, not the blade’s path: a training post or a straw dummy, not a duel.
