Hello,

what i have is a GUI with buttons. I want them to play a certain animation on my character. I have little knowledge about unity...after an hour googling i was able to find this:

GameObject.Find("MyGameObjectID").animation.Play("Animation-ID"))

I tried to combine it to:

if(GUILayout.Button (itemVar, GUILayout.Height (50)))
  {
  GameObject.Find("MyGameObjectID").animation.Play("Animation-ID"))
  }

which was not working.

Help please

Solution: you have to exlude the animation in the ThirdPersonController with public var animationActive = 0;

Player.GetComponent("ThirdPersonController").animationActive = 1;
Player.animation.Stop();
Player.animation["Button"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
animate();

function animate()
{
Player.animation.Play("Button");
yield WaitForSeconds (Player.animation["Button"].clip.length);
Player.GetComponent("ThirdPersonController").animationActive = 0;
}
