How do i make a sword that pushes other objects when it hits, using animations.

Questions & Answers
1

I have a character with attack animations and i want the other objects to be affected by it when i swing the sword. I tried collision boxes and what not and it seems the collision box doesn’t follow the sword during the animation, it just stays in place.
So i guess im trying to find a way to apply the animation to the collision box.

So, this is what I came up with.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class RotateOnHit : MonoBehavior
{
	private bool rotate = false;
	private float triggered = 0.0f, currentTime, timer;
	
	public void Start()
	{
		this.timer = 10.0f;
	}
	
	public void Update()
	{
		if(this.rotate) {
		
			if(this.triggered == 0.0f) {
				this.triggered = Time.deltaTime;
			}
			
			this.currentTime = Time.deltaTime;
			
			if((this.currentTime - this.triggered) < timer) {
				// Should perform a relative spin
				transform.Rotate(Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
			} else {
				this.rotate = false;
			}
		}
	}
	
	// This may not be the correct method name pretty sure it is though
	public void OnCollisionEnter(Collider e)
	{
		if(e typeof GameObject) {
			// I haven't worked with Unity in a while,
			// So it may be a different object path
			if(e.gameObject.tag == "sword") {
				this.rotate = true;
			}
		}
	}
}
