Damage Animation doesn't play

Questions & Answers
1

I want to play animation damage when taking shot, but it doesn’t play, just stop for a moment. This is my code

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider){
	if(other.tag == "shot"){
		move = false;
		animation.Play("damage01");
		health--;
		Destroy(other);
	}
}

function Update(){
	if(move && health > 0){
		GetComponent(NavMeshAgent).destination = target.position;
		animation.Play("walk01");
	}
	playerDistance = Vector3.Distance(player.transform.position, transform.position);
	if(playerDistance <= 1){
		if(!attacking && health > 0){
			move = false;
			this.GetComponent(NavMeshAgent).Stop();
			animation.Play("attack01");
			Invoke("ApplyDamage", 1);
			attacking = true;
		}
	}
	if(playerDistance > 1 && !attacking && health > 0){
		move = true;
		animation.Play("walk01");
	}
	if(health <= 0){
		die();
	}
}

On your OnTriggerEnter Method you are writing

 animation.Play("damage01");
 health--;
 Destroy(other);

is the animation played on the other object? if so, you have to wait till the animation is over, and then destroy it. otherwise he will start the animation but goes further in progress.

i also would recommend you to place the Destroy(other); call into a separate method like

public void DestroyObject(GameObject _gameObject){
 Destroy(_gameObject);
}

and then make a EvenTrigger call in your animation to this method.

this way you can synchronize the destroying of the object with a certain timeframe of your animation.
