i have created a animation and did my script part and the all damn thing just does not work.

#pragma strict

var Effect : Transform;
var TheDammage = 100;
var CM901 : Transform;

function Update () {
	
	var hit : RaycastHit;
	var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Vector3(Screen.width*0.5, Screen.height*0.5, 0));
	
	if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
	{
		animation.Play("CM901Shooting");
		
		if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100))
		{
			var particleClone = Instantiate(Effect, hit.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));
			Destroy(particleClone.gameObject, 2);
			hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDammage", TheDammage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
		}

Ok, let’s see some things.
1.Does the object you have the script on also have a animation component?
2.If it does, did you assign it that animation
3.did you enter the name correctly?
Doesn’t seem to be any problems script-wise
