    When I play the button, the Animator space gets empty... Does someone know why does it happen?

    Something (probably in that script) is either setting that field to null or destroying the Animator.

    I was wondering why my animator was null at run time thend found out your post, checked, and indeed that's exactly what is happening the animator is set to nothing at run time.

    In short, I'm in the same boat.

    Well 2 seconds later I found out ... As I moved my components around found out I had a trailing "animator = GetComponent<Animator>();" in the "start" of the script.

    Unity doesn't just clear your references for no reason.

    Something in your code is setting it.
