an object reference is required to access non-static member animation.play()

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class WeaponAnimControl : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
int RightClick = Animator.StringToHash ("RightClick");
if(Input.GetKey ("Fire2")){
Animator.SetBool("RightClick", true);
Debug.Log ("Aiming Down Sights");
}
else{
Animator.SetBool("RightClick", false);
Debug.Log ("Idle-ing");
}
}
}​

Why my code isn't working is beyond me. I am new to Unity 3D, and I have some background in C and C#, but obviously not enough. What does this mean:
Assets/WeaponAnimControl.cs(16,41): error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member `UnityEngine.Animator.SetBool(string, bool)'
Yes, my indentation is right, but it won't show on this website, even after I tried indenting again to seperate it from everything else.

 

You're using the class name, so Mono is looking for a static class function. What you actually want is an instance of Animator, which you can get thusly:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Animator anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
3. anim.SetBool("Idle-ing", false);
4.  

 

Thank you so much! I guess I need to keep learning if I expect to make a game.

 

would it be the same for animation?

 

"Animation" is the class name, and it's the same way as "Animator" above.

"animation" is essentially a shortcut for GetComponent<Animation>() - but this no longer exists in Unity 5, so it depends on which version you're using.

Also, the Animation component is basically deprecated, and it's recommended that you use Animator for anything that doesn't depend on Animation for legacy reasons.
