Question Animations Problem

Hello, im new to unity and C# in general, im trying to make a door system, basically what im trying to do, is for the doors to open when a player enters a trigger area.

I have this simple script here:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class AnimationTrigger : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     public AnimationClip animation1Clip;
6.     public AnimationClip animation2Clip;
7.     public GameObject animation1Start;
8.     public GameObject animation2Start;
9.  
10.     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
11.     {
12.         if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
13.         {
14.             PlayAnimations();
15.         }
16.     }
17.  
18.     private void PlayAnimations()
19.     {
20.         Animation animation1 = animation1Start.GetComponent<Animation>();
21.         animation1.clip = animation1Clip;
22.         animation1.Play();
23.  
24.         Animation animation2 = animation2Start.GetComponent<Animation>();
25.         animation2.clip = animation2Clip;
26.         animation2.Play();
27.     }
28. }
29.  

I know this is NOT the best way to handle animations in unity, but im super new, and im trying to do something simple and honesty i dont know how to work well with animations yets.

So i have the script assigned to the trigger area, with the animations and the game objects assigned on the script, and i have an Animation component in both game objects (Basically a sliding glass door that has 2 parts)

The problem im facing is when ever the player walks in the trigger area this pops up in the unity console:

Default clip could not be found in attached animations list.
UnityEngine.Animationlay ()
AnimationTriggerlayAnimations () (at Assets/Scripts/AnimationTrigger.cs:26)
AnimationTrigger:OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider) (at Assets/Scripts/AnimationTrigger.cs:14)

Thank you so much for your help in advance!!

 

I love how the text read that to turn it into an emoji, lol, good stuff..

I think this tutorial goes over every little aspect of what you're looking for, and in great detail:

One of the problems with your code is your animation1 and animation2 are using the same component.

Try

Animation animation1 = animation1Start.GetComponents<Animation>()[0];

Animation animation1 = animation1Start.GetComponents<Animation>()[1];

Also try using Unity's animation system, with adding bools to your code. After you do these update us with your code!

Here's my ultra-simple reference door-with-animations implementation:

Hey, so i did end up making it work using this script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class AnimationTrigger : MonoBehaviour
4. {
5.     public AnimationClip animation1Clip;
6.     public AnimationClip animation2Clip;
7.     public GameObject animation1Start;
8.     public GameObject animation2Start;
9.  
10.     private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
11.     {
12.         if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
13.         {
14.             PlayAnimations();
15.         }
16.     }
17.  
18.     private void PlayAnimations()
19.     {
20.         Animation animation1 = animation1Start.GetComponent<Animation>();
21.         Animation animation2 = animation2Start.GetComponent<Animation>();
22.  
23.         if (animation1 != null && animation2 != null)
24.         {
25.             animation1.clip = animation1Clip;
26.             animation1.Play();
27.  
28.             animation2.clip = animation2Clip;
29.             animation2.Play();
30.         }
31.     }
32. }

After asigning animations again and remaking them, the doors now open and close correcty. So for now im gonna take the win. Later on though i might rework the whole thing using the link @wideeyenow_unity send.

Thank you so much for your help!!!!!
