[/U]Everything was done in Maya, not in Max... so if you want to create this effect, you need to look for tutorials on Maya.

If we follow this logic, "everything was done there, so it should be done there," then let's also bind it to the skeleton and edit the model in Maya. It's so convenient.))
The point is, what difference does it make if it still works in Maya, but breaks only when exported to GR2?

[/U]The vampire is divided into the body, the sword, and the sword effects; the angels are divided in the same way.

Well, this confirms my theory about how it was done. And in principle, what I described is the simplest way; it's unlikely that the developers would make it more complicated.
(a small correction, I definitely remember that the vampire also has a cloak and some details that are separate textures and, of course, are also separate meshes. so, in addition to what you listed, there is one more line)

Look at the Titans from the fifth game as an example, how the Titan kicks the Lich.

Or other creatures from the same Undead faction.

Do I really need to explain the difference between "slightly off" and "hits half a meter away and doesn't match the timing of the hit/damage contact by more than a few seconds"?

And what's the point of arguing about this? So far, the Titans from the 7th game were the only creature that had this problem with the attack distance. And I've already found a compromise. What's there to discuss? Or do you think it's better to remove the lightning and just leave a "kick"? If so, I think if you saw how ugly it looks, you would change your mind.

And I only adjust the attacks of other creatures based on the timing, so that there is no effect of "they hit with a spear, they retract it, a second passes, and then the enemies start to feel pain."

In general, from the point of view of realism, the Titans should be the size of Transformers-Gestalts (those who have watched will understand what I mean).

Transformers are everything. Good reference, and it's easy to understand. I didn't even have to Google to understand what you mean.
