Animation issue with animation script on seperate game object.

Hello all,

I'm trying to play a weapon attack animation (created using Unity's animation tool) when the player presses the "attack" button (in this case, B on an Xbox controller) but it doesn't seem to want to play.

I'm using two scripts. The first is my character controller, which currently contains the following.

Code (CSharp):

1.        if (OVRGamepadController.GPC_GetButton(OVRGamepadController.Button.B))
2.        {
3.            print("B ATTACK");
4.            weapon = GameObject.Find("fireaxe");
5.            AttackAnimation attack = (AttackAnimation)weapon.GetComponent(typeof(AttackAnimation));
6.            attack.Attack();
7.          
8.         }

I'm trying to access my second script, which is named AttackAnimation, and is located on the fireaxe GameObject. The fireaxe GameObject is a child of the Player_VR, which contains the above script.



The AttackAnimation.cs looks like this;

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class AttackAnimation : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     public AnimationClip AttackAnimationClip;
7.  
8.     public void Attack()
9.     {
10.         animation.Play(AttackAnimationClip.name);
11.     }
12.  
13.     public void Update()
14.     {
15.         if (IsAttackFinished)
16.         {
17.             animation.CrossFade(animation.clip.name);
18.         }
19.     }
20.    
21.  
22.     public bool IsAttackFinished    {
23.         get {
24.             return animation[AttackAnimationClip.name].time > animation[AttackAnimationClip.name].length; }
25.             }
26. }
27.  

Any help is greatly appreciated!

P.s. Currently, when the player presses 'B' on the gamepad, the system prints out "B ATTACK" to the console. This was just me testing I had the gamepad configured correctly.

 

Anyone at all able to suggest a fix for this? I'm trying to access a method on a separate gameobject that plays a specific animation on that gameobject.
