Check if animator animation is playing

Question

So i need to disable and AI and Player ability if an animator animation is playing. Previously i solved this by using animation GetComponent().isPlaying(); but as this is deprecated in 2017.1 version of unity (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component-animation.html) i would not like to use that solution.

I've tried to use different functions from here (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.html) but none of which gives the wanted behaviour.

Managed to solve this by myself:

In the Animator controller I just added a transition from the Animation back to the default Animator state.

Then i just set a tag for all animations I wanted to check for (tag="1") and checked with:

Animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsTag("1")

Which returns true if animation is playing, otherwise false
