Play death animation triggered from another object...

Hey guys,

I’ve been wrestling with a bit of code and hoped u could help. I have a ball that has a box connected to it through a empty object. What I’ve set up in the ball control is a trigger which tells the ball and the box to die after 1 second.

	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) 
	{
		
		
		if (other.tag == "Destroy")
		{
			_GameManager.GetComponent<GameManager>().Death();
			Destroy(gameObject,1); 
		}
		if (other.tag == "Destroy")
		{
			_GameManager.GetComponent<GameManager>().Death();
			Destroy (GameObject.FindWithTag("Box"),1);
		}

What I want to do is also play an animation that’s in the box before it’s destroyed. I have an animation in the box object set up, I just need to understand how to add a bit of script to the ball player control to play it.

Thanks in advance.

Rich

You would get the Animation component of the object and tell it to play an animation:

For example:

box.GetComponent ().Play (“DeathAnimation”);

where “DeathAnimation” is the name of the AnimationClip.
