Random animation array not working

Does anyone know why this doesn't work? It seems to only call one animation. If I put

Code (CSharp):

1. this.GetComponent<Animation>().Play("Three");

into the update function it works. Or any of the other single animations. But this random array isn't working.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.  
3.     private string[] _animationNames = new string[] { "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five" };
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.  
7.     }
8.     //Public Void OnTriggerEnter()
9.  
10.     void Update()
11.  
12.     {
13.         this.GetComponent<Animation>().Play(_animationNames[Random.Range(0, _animationNames.Length)]);
14.  
15.     }
16. }

 

The 'Update' function gets called every frame so your code will be starting different animations loads of times each second. Does it not work if you put it in the Start function?

 

Thanks for the feedback
