MissingComponentException: There is no 'Animator' attached to the "XXX" game object, but a scr

Hi folks,

i made a little battleship game (with Monsters) and for animation i have a animator on each Cell with should start if there is a missed shoot (simple draw a black hole on the tile).

Now i use the Gameobject name as a variable to select the right Gameobject and start the animation:

Code (CSharp):

1.             Debug.Log("Missed: "+ dragScript.targetArray[sliderXval,sliderYval]);
2.             GameObject cell_hit = GameObject.Find(dragScript.targetArray[sliderXval,sliderYval]); //targetArray contains the Grid Field name
3.             cell_hit.GetComponent <Animator>().SetBool("hit",true); // with this i get the error -> no Animator on Gameobject
4.             Debug.Log(dragScript.targetArray[sliderXval,sliderYval]);
5.             //grid90.GetComponent <Animator>().SetBool("hit",true); // with this and drag drop the GameObject in Inspector it is working

With the 2 commands "gameobject.find" and Get Component Set Bool i receive the error:

Which is strange since all cells have the same animator attached to their gameobject, and when i debugged it by selection the gameobject directly with the inspector -> it is working without problems.

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField] GameObject grid90;

btw. i searched for similar issues first and if i missed any information to help please give me a hint.

Thanks
Kristian
