First-Person ABS using Events?

[Morpheus]

So I'm using the MV3D plugin and it's awesome. The only thing I want to do next is work on the combat. I tried using Alpha ABS and it lags way too much in combat when attacking, literally a 3 second freeze whenever it attacks. I saw in other threads here and there people mention you can make a sort of mock ABS using eventing only, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to do that? Google only comes up with tutorials on making battle events. Pic related is a mockup I made when you equip a weapon it brings up a picture, I'm just unsure how or where to go next, or even to get the weapon to "swing".
