Question

In the animation component, there is the default Animation, and also an Animations array. How do you access a particular animation in this array, for play at an arbitrary time during run time?

The obvious animation.animations[index] does not work.

the array you're accessing in your example is the animation state- so it's still useful for your purposes, just not in the way you were using it.

try something like:

animation.CrossFade(animation.animations[index].name);

same error: BCE0019: 'animations' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.Animation'. Did you mean 'animateOnlyIfVisible'?

er.. sorry. that's what I get for hastily doing a copy/pasta.

you actually cant access animations by index. not out-of-the-box anyway. the easiest way to do something like this is to build your own array/list and add them that way.

example:

List<string> animations = new List<string>();

void Start()
{

   foreach(AnimationState state in animation)
   {
      animations.Add(state.name);
   }
}

void Update()
{
    // now you can do whatever you need to do by index.
}
