# Weapon Trace Notify

Soulslike Framework provides an **Animation Notify State** for performing a weapon trace, which is tied to the [Weapon **Collision Manager**](https://soulslike-framework.isik.vip/components-managers/shared-components/weapon-collision-manager). Simply add it to your montage and adjust its starting/ending points relevant to your attack. Ensure that you select the correct **TraceType (Right Hand/Left Hand/Both)** from the details panel by selecting your Notify:
