Melee: No Engine Editing

Hello all, I've not been on here in a long while, but I've decided to give Torque another go. I've got TGE 1.4.2 (I see no upgrade options to 1.5 anymore, has that gone now?) and the one thing I could never figure out was getting a Melee system to work. The Server Side and Simple Melee system have never worked for me and for some reason I've never worked out why. I am not hot on C++ and don't possess the knowledge to make any successful changes to the engine in C++.
So I am wondering if anybody know how I would have Melee scripted player, without engine change. It does need to be too accurate, but something that'll play an animation with a sword mounted and do damage to the enemy. Because I've not used TGE for a long time, I am perhaps a newb again.
Thank you.

Another simple method is to use the player's eye vector to perform a RayCast. And if the raycast makes contact with another player object then perform damage upon that player's handle that was gathered in the initial raycast pass.

I don't know if that will work or not, it sounds like it should, but perhaps someone that knows more will come along and offer their suggestion.
