No animation attached to gameobject?

Question

So, i've been looking for an answer for 2 hours now, and i can't seem to find any solution to my problem.

Error :

 MissingComponentException: There is no 'Animation' attached to the "Door_Pivot" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
 You probably need to add a Animation to the game object "Door_Pivot". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
 UnityEngine.Animation.Play (System.String animation)

Code :

 GetComponent.<Animation>().Play("DoorClose")

And, i have attached the Animator thing to my game object, and i have attached the 2 animations called : DoorOpen and DoorClosed. I have also tried using 2 "AnimationClip" variables to find the animations, but it didn't work either. I used variables to attach the 2 animations (var type : AnimationClip), and it gave me same error, that it's not attached. It's obviously there! I'm so confused this doesn't make any sense.

Credit to these guys who helped me solve the problem. (i think this is how to tag people....) - @zeppike - @Scribe

So, heres the answer : I used a Animator component instead of an animation one. The animation component can be found by searching for one. When you have attached it, you will need to add your animation(s) to it by dragging them to the animations "spot". Now, i recommend you unchecking "Play automatically" since it will just loop the animation if this is checked. Then, write this in your script to play the animation.

 this.GetComponent.<Animation>().Play("Animation_name_Here");

(this) simply means that i'm targeting the object that the script is attached to, so if I'm correct you should be able to put the name of other object in there too. (not sure though).

I know this is an old post but if anyone is looking at this you have to remove the dot between GetComponent and

Solved: this.GetComponent().Play("Animation_name_Here");

I'm having sort of the same problem, I even tried adding an animator on the object, but the problem is the parent object is also in an animator and for some reason it aint animating the god damned thing, its very weird
