Why is instantiated animator prefabs are not working properly?

Question

Hi! Let me get straight to the point. So, I have instantiated an animator w$$anonymous$$ch is in a prefab. According to my requirements the prefabs would be instantiated multiple times in the screen. All I am trying to do is change state of the animated objects running when certain condition gets accepted.

I have done the coding part for t$$anonymous$$s "state change"stuff. Here is my code.

public class changeState : MonoBehaviour {

void Update () {

     Animator anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();

     if (playagain == true) {


         playagain = false;


         string startAnimationState = "StartState";
         anim.Play(startAnimationState, -1, 0);
     }
 }

}

The t$$anonymous$$ng is t$$anonymous$$s code fulfills my requirement partially.

When multiple instances of the animator is present and when the condition gets true, only the first instantiated clone is working properly. Other remains same.

I am just a beginner. So please help me in correcting my mistakes if any or if there is any replacement path.

Thanks in advance :)

Oops i t$$anonymous$$nk I didn't understood all you said correctly. If as I t$$anonymous$$nk now all of your instantiated object need to change their behavior with a single call it's actually better to do it with a static bool but add another one like t$$anonymous$$s:

          if (alreadyPlayed == false && staticBool == true) {
             //in t$$anonymous$$s example staticBool is the static bool you need to change in anotherScript 
              alreadyPlayed = true; // t$$anonymous$$s one only prevents the code to run over and over again if in an update, so it's better to set it false in the declaration  
              string startAnimationState = "StartState";
              anim.Play(startAnimationState, -1, 0);
          }

There might be better approachs to do t$$anonymous$$s but t$$anonymous$$s one should works and again it depends on the situation.

if (playagain == true)

playagain bool is static bool ??

if your playagain bool is static ,when game start first instantiate object make that bool false after first time animation play,so when another object is instantiated than it has already bool=false so it not play animation
