Question

Hello I have such objects in the scene: collider (that acts as trigger), elevator, animated button. Now when I enter the collider area and press f button and then get into elevator it goes up. I want make it so that when i enter the collider area and press f button the animation of other object named animated button will play too. I have such code for now.

Trigger script:

static var leverswitch: int;
var trigger: int=1;
var Player: Transform;
var AnimationFile: AnimationClip;

function OnTriggerStay (other: Collider)
{
   if (Input.GetKeyDown("f"))
   {
      leverswitch =trigger;
      Player.parent =null;
      animation.Play("AnimationFile");
   }
}

Elevator script:

var Player: Transform;
var Elevator: Transform;

var point1: Vector3; 
var point2: Vector3; 
var speed: int=5; 
var boolswitch: lever; 

function OnTriggerStay(other: Collider) {
boolswitch=FindObjectOfType (lever);

if (boolswitch.leverswitch==1) {
    if (Elevator.transform.position.y < point2.y) {
       Player.parent=Elevator;
       Elevator.transform.Translate(Vector3.up*Time.deltaTime*speed);
       }
    }
}

This does not work as I get error: MissingComponentException: There is no 'Animation' attached to the "aktywator_windy" game object, but a script is trying to access it.

Can someone tell me how to fix it (make it work)?

Maybe this ugly picture will help it understand better: alt text

where is ur script attached? and where is ur animation.? in that script u r tryin to acces an animation in the object where the script is attached. so u might need to call the correct gameObject to play the animation. `gameObject.FindWithTag("player");` or u can make a variable `var animated : GameObject;` and add ur player in the inspector anyway u want will work.

but remember that the object must contain the animation component with its animation.

srry for the confusing bad english. xD

the scripts are attached to empty's with box colliders as triggers

animation is on imported object from blender. Yes i know i need to call correct gameObject but i have no idea how. I will try to remade it as you written.

Remade the code to this yet still it does not work

static var leverswitch: int; var trigger: int=1; var Player: Transform; var animated : GameObject;

function OnTriggerStay (other: Collider) { if (Input.GetKeyDown("f")) { leverswitch =trigger; Player.parent =null; // niszczy dziedziczenie animation.Play("animated"); } }

As GameObject i did choose button (it has its animation) from assest

in any script u can find objects by name or tags like this

var objectAnim : GameObject;

this way u can assign it in the inspector. just drag the gameObject.

then use like this objectAnim.animation.Play("AnimationFile");

or u can find in the script

var objectAnim : GameObject;

objectAnim = gameObject.Find("gameObject");

and use it just like in the 1st example

Ok problem solved thanks again the correct code goes like this for me

static var leverswitch: int;
var trigger: int=1;
var Player: Transform;
//var AnimationFile: AnimationClip;
var animated : GameObject;

function OnTriggerStay (other: Collider)
{
   if (Input.GetKeyDown("f"))
   {
      leverswitch =trigger;
      Player.parent =null;
      animated.animation.Play("dzwignia");
   }
