    How would you go about setting the animation of an ai? For example, running, idle etc. animation.Player(); does not seem to work for me?

    Assuming you're using legacy,

    You'll need to access the animation component and then type:

    animation.Play("animation name");

    Do you only need animation playing part of the script or also AI movement?

    Code (JavaScript):
    1. function Update(){
    2.        animation.Play("AnimationName");
    3. }

    And if you are using mecanim just use variable of the type Animator, get the components of Animator on the script. And then just

    nameOfAnimatorValue.SetBool/Float...("nameOfTheVariableOnTheAnimator",true(bool)/false(bool) or floatnumber(float))

    something like this.

    animator.SetBool("Shoot",true); animador.SetBool("Shoot",false);

    Don't do it this way.

    This is performance heavy.

    You can do it through start.

    void Start()
    {
    animaion["CLIPNAME"].wrapmode = WrapMode.loop;
    animation.play("ClipNAME");
    }
