Play Swimming Animation when in water. (ERROR CS0120)

Questions & Answers
1

So i’ve made a swimming script, that works fine.
But i wan’t to add, so when I’m in the water, it plays a swimming animation.
I’ve made the animation, and put it into a script, but it says error CS0120: An object reference is required to access non-static member ‘Unity.Engine.Play()’

NOTE I’m very new to scripting, just learning a little day by day how to do this and that. So i’ve probaly forgot to put something in the code. But here’s the code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Swimming : MonoBehaviour {

//under water for (useless atm)
void Start () {
	RenderSettings.fog = false;
	RenderSettings.fogColor = new Color (0.2f, 0.4f, 0.8f, 0.5f); 
	RenderSettings.fogDensity = 0.04f;

}

bool IsUnderwater()
{
	return gameObject.transform.position.y < 3.9;
	
}

	//swimming script
void Update () {
	if (this.transform.position.y < 3.9) 
		{
		this.gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3 (transform.position.x, 3.9f, transform.position.z);
		RenderSettings.fog = IsUnderwater ();
		//animation V
		Animation.Play("SwimmingAnimation");
	}
}

}

Everything else than the swimminganimation works.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Not

Animation.Play("SwimmingAnimation");

but

GetComponent<Animation>().Play("SwimmingAnimation");

Play cannot be statically used.

don’t forget to add an Animation Component to the same gameobject this script is attached to.
