Animation play only when in range

Questions & Answers
1

I am new to both unity and java script, so I’m having some trouble. I have an object with an animation (Take 001). I want this animation to play and loop only when it’s within a certain range of the object tagged ‘player’. When it’s out of range I want the animation to stop. I found a few similar questions to this on here, but didn’t give me quite what I was looking for.

Something like this?

using UnityEngine;

class PlayAnimation : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float range = 5;
    private Transform player;

    void Start()
    {
        player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player").GetComponent<Transform>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Vector3.Distance(player.position, transform.position) < range)
        {
            if (!animation.isPlaying) animation.Play();
        }
        else
        {
            if (animation.isPlaying) animation.Stop();
        }
    }
}
