My aim is to basically make an idle shooter game (rail shooter) where an enemy appears on the screen and when the player simply clicks the enemy, a dying animation is played once and then the enemy leaves the screen.

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Animations;

public class ClickAndDestroy : MonoBehaviour
{
public Animation DyingAnimation;
public string Dying;
Animation anim;

void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
        {
            BoxCollider bc = hit.collider as BoxCollider;
            if (hit.transform.tag == "Enemy")
            {
                Debug.Log("Dead!");
                anim["Dying"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
                anim.Play("Dying");
                Animation.Play(DyingAnimation);
                Destroy(bc.gameObject);
            }
        }
    }
}

}

This is my code right now which is attached to the main camera. However, when I click the enemy, it disappears but the dying animation is not played. Please help

put the Destroy(br.gameObject); in a coroutine

something like this

private IEnumerator DestroyWithDelay(float delayInSeconds, GameObject go){
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(delayInSeconds);
    Destroy(go);
}

and instead of line 17 write something like this

StartCoroutine(DestroyWithDelay(anim["Dying"].Length, bc.gameObject));

With a coroutine you start a little independent update function that waits for a defined time and then executes the code you define after your yield return statement.
