# Weapon Trace Notify

Soulslike Framework provides an **Animation Notify State** for performing a weapon trace, which is tied to the [Weapon **Collision Manager**](/components-managers/shared-components/weapon-collision-manager.md). 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:

If you are having issues, ensure that you've setup your weapon correctly. [You can follow this page for more information on creating weapons.](/workflow/creating-and-editing-items/creating-and-editing-weapons.md#using-the-utility-tools-to-create-and-edit-weapons)
