Overlap point of 2 kinematic colliders

Question

Currently working on a Hack n Slash prototype, and need to find the collision point between a sword and what it collides with.

Initially I had triggers, but OnTriggerEnter doesn't provide details as to the point of collision. Changing to non-triggers however, didn't solve t$$anonymous$$s issue, as both the sword and the objects being collided with are kinematic (the collision isn't even detected)

Is there any way around t$$anonymous$$s?

Freezing positions / rotations won't work, as the objects (and the sword) need to be moved around and follow their parent.

Cheers

Why don't you cast a ray from the sword hand down the center of the sword and see what it $$anonymous$$ts and where? Wouldn't be exact collidon point but id t$$anonymous$$nk it'd be reasonably close...

Good idea, and may unfortunately be what I end up doing in some circumstances, but I'm trying to keep the system as generic as possible. Trying to find a solution that will work with more than just swords and other long thin weapons. Essentially, collision shapes are a must.
