Access Animator Controller from other objects?

Hey guys, I made a simple camera shake state and animation in Mecanim. I have a player character and I want it to trigger this camera shake when he actually shoots. My shoot script is here below:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class PlayerShoot : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public GameObject bullet;
7.     public string shotButton = "Fire1";
8.     public float shotDelay = 0.2f;
9.     private bool readyToShoot = true;
10.  
11.     // Update is called once per frame
12.     void Update ()
13.     {
14.         {
15.             if(Input.GetButton(shotButton) && readyToShoot)
16.             {
17.                 if(audio != null)
18.                 {
19.                     if(!audio.isPlaying)
20.                     {
21.                         audio.Play();
22.                     }
23.                 }
24.                 Instantiate(bullet,transform.position,transform.rotation);
25.                 readyToShoot = false;
26.                 Invoke("ResetReadyToShoot", shotDelay);
27.             }
28.         }
29.     }
30.    
31.     void ResetReadyToShoot()
32.     {
33.         readyToShoot = true;
34.     }
35. }

So every 0.2 seconds my character shoots. I also want it to play the camera shake animation every 0.2 seconds. My issue is I have no idea how to do this. I added a bool parameter in the cameraController called "Shake" and set it as the transition condition for the camera to go from idle to shaking.

How do I actually set that bool to true all the way from my player's shooting script?

 

Just create a var for the scipt you want to access in you player script. Preferably, set it in the editor.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public someScript someScript_data;
3.  

 

Thank you for reply mate.

What I ended up doing is a bit hacky, but works brilliantly so far. I added a big collider to the camera and put it on a layer called "CameraCollider". I put a script on the camera that sais whenever something enters this trigger collider "shake" must be set to true. And it must be set to false after .3 seconds. I then adjusted the collision matrix so that player bullets and explosions can collide with camera, and nothing else. So far this is working flawlessly.
