There are different approaches to it. You can either do the very intensive checking if the sword touched the target, or you could simply use a range in where the target would get hit and then calculate the chance the hit was valid. The latter approach is the easiest and most used.

You could take a look on how other mods did it, I'm sure there are some melee mods out there.

Look at the sheild gun code :p, however if someone would post the code for the more complex way i would greatly appreciate it.

I think the ONSprv vehicle has some code that maybe worth a look, from what I know they use a line collision check for when the blades slice the person sounds pretty melee to me.

Ive looked over the postal 2 code also and it seems they use something similar but with an extra sphere collision.

Please feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong, I think these two are probably the best places to start looking.

If your looking for a copy/paste solution maybe you should find a coder to give you a hand so you can learn a bit more about scripting.

It is possible with WotGreal for example, to decompile most of the Rune packages. I used them to get some basic idea for my own Melee system.
