No it didn't. It called it twice at the start of the swing, at slightly differing locations (one in the midst of the sword, one at the tip), which was somthing I added in to make the range of the swords more accurate, and at the time i was only supporting single ordinate points for hits rather than areas. The way I looked at it was that when you send the attack at the start of the swing, by the time the hit reaches the server/other player, it will 'visually' be at least halfway through the swing on you screen, which gives a nice behaviour.
