How do I make a sword kill through a totem?

Sorry but could I ask you something? When you said you want to make a sword kill through a totem, you want it to kill enemies without them activate the totem or you want them to die even after they activate the totem?

Sorry for the late reply. Here is what I made:

You can change the delay time to make it happens before or after or even later the totem activation. Anyway, hope this works for you and good luck on your mod :D
