how to handle animation question

Unity Engine
1

i want to know if their is a better way to check if a specific animation is playing, or even just to see the name of the one currently playing aside from something like this as i suspect this is a needless waste of processing power.

for (var state : AnimationState in animation) {

switch(state.name){

case animation A:
break;

case animation B:
break;

}
}

I’ve been using the following to determine if I have an animation playing. Is this what you’re after?

if (animation["walk"].enabled == true) {
     // the animation named "walk" is playing
}

yes thank you this is exactly what i was looking for

i’ve come across another optimization issue, is it possible to check which animation is playing without alot of if statements?

i have 38 animations currently on our character, so i’m hoping their is an easier way to optimize the code so i don’t have to do 38 if checks each frame.

if(animation.IsPlaying("walk"))
{
    print("I'm walking");
}
