This basics video tutorial shows you a way how to spawn a melee hit box in GameMaker Studio.

Is this a standard?
As far as I know yes, at least the approach to it. You have to imagine, that the animation and the actual hit with a melee attack are two seperate things even though they look the same for the player. To indicate the attacking a lot of games have the sprite animate and then spawning an invisible hitbox that does the actual work concering the machanics behind a melee hit.

If you are unsure about hitboxes and bounding boxes please check out my previous video where I describe that in detail.

This tutorial is a follow up that only shows you why they are seperate things (animation and hitbox) and how you can setup that for your own game.
