Please help! animation problems...

Question

hey guys i made a animation and it worked and all but when i pressed play to test it it kept saying the animation state could not be played because it could not be found... i dont get it what should i do? heres the coding i used.

 #pragma strict
 
 var TheDamage : int = 50;
 var Distance : float;
 var MaxDistance : float = 1.5;
 var TheMace : Transform;
 
 function Update ()
 {    
     if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
     {
         TheMace.animation.Play("Mace attack");
         var hit : RaycastHit;
         if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit))
         {
             Distance = hit.distance;
             if (Distance < MaxDistance)
             {
                 hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", TheDamage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
             }
         }
     }
 }

I can't see any obvious errors, so all I can do is show you tutorials that helped me and my Java-Script with animations in. A notation tells you where the animation is.

 var speed : float = 6.0;
 var twiceSpeed : float = 10.0;
 var jumpSpeed : float = 8.0;
 var gravity : float = 20.0;
 var rotateSpeed : float = 3.0;
 
 private var moveDirection : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;
 
 function Update() {
     var controller : CharacterController = GetComponent(CharacterController);
     if (controller.isGrounded) {
         //Grounded, so recalculate
         //Move directly from axes
         moveDirection = Vector3(0, 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
         
         //Rotation Code
         transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * rotateSpeed, 0);
         
         moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
         moveDirection *= speed;
         
         if (Input.GetButton ("Jump")) {
             moveDirection.y = jumpSpeed;
         }
         
         //Animation Code
         if (Input.GetKeyDown("w"))
         {
             animation.Play("Full Walk");
         }
         else if (Input.GetKeyUp("w"))
         {
             animation.Stop();
             animation.Play("Idle");
         }
     }
     
     //Apply Gravity
     moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
     
     //Move Controller
     controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);
 }

Firstly, it is a movement script with animations attached. It is applied to your character and the animations are in an attachment called "Animations". I think that this is mandatory for successful operation, but maybe not. It certainly looks for the animations, though.

It isn't found probably for reasons above. However, the code states that it only plays on condition of W-$$anonymous$$ey down, so that indicates that only the can't-find-it error needs to be solved.

You need to make sure you have the Animation component attached to TheMace. Also, you need to add the animations in your Project tab into the component. Make sure the animations are named correctly!
