# Try Guard Notify

AN\_TryGuard

Soulslike Framework provides an **Animation Notify** for **checking if player wants to guard.** This is particularly useful if the player is holding down the **Guard** action and decides to for e.g, do an Attack action. By default, the **Guard** action will be canceled and won't get re-activated after the Attack. With this notify, you can tell your montages to check for this and re-execute **Guard** action if player is still holding the **Guard** action.

{% hint style="danger" %}
This notify **must be placed after the Input Buffer notify** to work correctly. 
{% endhint %}
