Small question, how would you, as a UE4 programmer, and assuming it would have to be replicated and accurate, tackle the melee question? Using collision? Ray-tracing? Other methods?

I have started something for melee in the zombie code, this was grabbed from implementation in one the punching tutorials on the wiki:

With melee using collision volumes sounds like the most accurate approach, using begin overlaps to let the animation pass through visually, but still register the “hits” to apply damage.
