What is the name of your slashing sprite? Exactly. And if there's more than one, list them all.

Spr_atl_left

sprite_attack_right

3 frames each

Okay:

Make a collision event in your hero object, and make it a collision with the enemy.

In there, make an if statement. (Control tab in the object window, it's on the right, then right-click the one that looks like a question mark. In there say:

self.sprite_index=Spr_atl_left

Click okay, or confirm, or whatever, then make a destroy event, and apply it to other.

Do this again, in the same event, but this time the question mark says:

self.sprite_index=Spr_attack_right

I just take a shortcut and create a "killing instance" that kills itself when a certain amount of time is up.  When I press the attack key it makes the object at a certain distance from the hero, and when an enemy touches that object it "dies".  I usually use the Alarm function and set it to about 1-4 steps so the object lasts only as long as the animation.  Very handy.

I like to use the D&D approach but you could also go with Arrow's coding.
