Guard animations question.

Hi all I'm trying to give my game a simple guard animation to use and I have created a simple animation to use and have assigned it to the guard skill but when I tried to test it made the characters guard no animation played , am I missing something simple ?

make the guard skill into an attack, change it's name, and try using it during the battle.... if it's there, then the game is defaulting correctly to that same skill.

make another animation, and try triggering it from this skill, or put this same animation into another skill.... if it plays, then the animation management is correct.

that'd help you isolate the problem to a plugin, or a faulty resource.

I got it working thanks , don't know what that was about , but it works fine now. :)
