Animation Button Press

[RuiFerreira]

I want an animation to play on an object when I press this a button. How close was I? (still Learning scripting)

var Clip : Animation; 

function Update (){
    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")){
    
    	animation.PlayOneShot(Clip);
      
        Animation.Play();
    }
}

Fairly close. Some minor changes and it will work:

var Clip : AnimationClip; //the AnimationClip you want to play
 
function Update (){
    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")){
 
        animation.Play(Clip.name);
    }
}

This assumes that the animation component is on the gameobject that has this script attached, and has a reference to the same animationclip.
