SetTrigger animation works on some object, doesn't work in others.

Hey all,

I've been setting up interactions in our project recently, I have a player class that detects what the player can interact with.

Here are two example scripts (that work without issue)

Code (CSharp):

1. public class DemoCabinetScript : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.     private bool cabinetOpen = false;
4.     private GameObject doorOpenerLeft = null;
5.     private GameObject doorOpenerRight = null;
6.  
7.     void Awake(){
8.  
9.         doorOpenerLeft = GameObject.Find ("DoorOpenerLeft");
10.         doorOpenerRight = GameObject.Find ("DoorOpenerRight");
11.  
12.     }
13.  
14.     void Update(){
15.  
16.         /*
17.         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C)){
18.  
19.             if(cabinetOpen){
20.                 closeCabinet();
21.             }else{
22.                 openCabinet();
23.             }
24.  
25.         }
26.         */
27.  
28.     }
29.  
30.     public void openCabinet(){
31.         doorOpenerLeft.GetComponent<FPEInteractableActivateScript>().interactionString = "Close cabinet";
32.         doorOpenerRight.GetComponent<FPEInteractableActivateScript>().interactionString = "Close cabinet";
33.         gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("OpenCabinet");
34.     }
35.  
36.     public void closeCabinet(){
37.         doorOpenerLeft.GetComponent<FPEInteractableActivateScript>().interactionString = "Open cabinet";
38.         doorOpenerRight.GetComponent<FPEInteractableActivateScript>().interactionString = "Open cabinet";
39.         gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("CloseCabinet");
40.     }
41.  
42.     public void setCabinetOpen(){
43.         cabinetOpen = true;
44.     }
45.  
46.     public void setCabinetClosed(){
47.         cabinetOpen = false;
48.     }
49.  
50.     public bool isCabinetOpen(){
51.         return cabinetOpen;
52.     }
53.  
54. }
55.  

Code (CSharp):

1. public class DemoCabinetInteractionScript : FPEInteractableActivateScript {
2.  
3.     public AudioClip cabinetOpen;
4.     public AudioClip cabinetClose;
5.     private GameObject cabinet;
6.  
7.     public override void Awake(){
8.  
9.         // Always call back to base class Awake function
10.         base.Awake();
11.  
12.         // The cabinet can only be opened with two hands
13.         canInteractWithWhileHoldingObject = false;
14.  
15.         cabinet = GameObject.Find("cabinet");
16.         if(!cabinet){
17.             Debug.LogError("DemoCabinetInteractionScript:: Cannot find cabinet Game Object!");
18.         }
19.  
20.     }
21.  
22.     public override void activate(){
23.  
24.         if(cabinet.GetComponent<DemoCabinetScript>().isCabinetOpen()){
25.             cabinet.GetComponent<DemoCabinetScript>().closeCabinet();
26.             gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = cabinetClose;
27.             gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
28.         }else{
29.             cabinet.GetComponent<DemoCabinetScript>().openCabinet();
30.             gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = cabinetOpen;
31.             gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
32.         }
33.  
34.     }
35.  
36. }
37.  

Pretty self-explanatory, the cabinet has two animations, opening and closing, and an idle state.


End result:

This works without issue, the problem is, I tried replicating this using a chest and it stopped working for some reason.

Here are the two scripts I'm using for the chest interaction:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ChestAnimationInteractable : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     private bool chestOpen = false;
4.     private GameObject ChestOpener = null;
5.  
6.  
7.     void Awake()
8.     {
9.  
10.         ChestOpener = GameObject.Find("ChestOpener");
11.  
12.     }
13.  
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C)){
17.  
18.             if(chestOpen){
19.                 closeChest();
20.             }else{
21.                 openChest();
22.             }
23.         }
24.  
25.     }
26.  
27.     public void openChest()
28.     {
29.         ChestOpener.GetComponent<FPEInteractableActivateScript>().interactionString = "Close chest";
30.         gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("ChestOpen");
31.  
32.     }
33.  
34.     public void closeChest()
35.     {
36.         ChestOpener.GetComponent<FPEInteractableActivateScript>().interactionString = "Open chest";
37.         gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("ChestClose");
38.     }
39.  
40.     public void setChestOpen()
41.     {
42.         chestOpen = true;
43.     }
44.  
45.     public void setChestClosed()
46.     {
47.         chestOpen = false;
48.     }
49.  
50.     public bool isChestOpen()
51.     {
52.         return chestOpen;
53.     }
54.  

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ChestInteraction : FPEInteractableActivateScript {
2.  
3.     public AudioClip chestOpen;
4.     public AudioClip chestClose;
5.     private GameObject hatch;
6.  
7.     public override void Awake()
8.     {
9.  
10.         // Always call back to base class Awake function
11.         base.Awake();
12.  
13.         // The cabinet can only be opened with two hands
14.         canInteractWithWhileHoldingObject = false;
15.  
16.         hatch = GameObject.Find("Hatch");
17.         if (!hatch)
18.         {
19.             Debug.LogError("ChestInteraction:: Cannot find hatch Game Object!");
20.         }
21.  
22.     }
23.  
24.     public override void activate()
25.     {
26.  
27.         if (hatch.GetComponent<ChestAnimationInteractable>().isChestOpen())
28.         {
29.             hatch.GetComponent<ChestAnimationInteractable>().closeChest();
30.             //  gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = chestClose;
31.             // gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
32.         }
33.         else {
34.             hatch.GetComponent<ChestAnimationInteractable>().openChest();
35.             // gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().clip = chestOpen;
36.             // gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>().Play();
37.         }
38.  
39.     }
40.  
41. }

Everything is exactly the same except for the game objects being manipulated. When I test this out in-game though it doesn't work as intended.

As you can see, it opens but doesn't close again. I think the code is functional and I messed up somewhere in the animator.

Here's the cabinet animator for example:

Here's the chest animator:

See the difference? One gets stuck and the other doesn't, even though I double-checked all my settings and everything and all seems the same. So what's the deal? I also tried resetting the triggers, but I have the same outcome.

What could be wrong here?
