"Animator is not playing an Animator Controller" error. The animator is activated btw.

am remaking pong and I have powerups that play a stretch animation making the players longer. When I try to trigger the animation using OnTriggerEnter2d it says the error. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? People keep telling me the animator is turned off but it isn’t.

Can we see your code?

Post using code tags please: Using code tags properly

Screenshots of the animator and components would also be helpful.
