Script over animation movement

Questions & Answers

Hello guys
So i been trying to make some simple Ai for my enemy in Unity and i run into a problem that i cant solve
function LateUpdate () {

if(Vector3.Distance(player.position, this.transform.position) < 20) {

var direction : Vector3 = player.position - this.transform.position;
direction.y = 0;

this.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(this.transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(direction), 0.1f);
if(direction.magnitude > 2) {

	this.transform.Translate(0,0,0.05f); 
	


}
	else if (direction.magnitude <= 2) { //&& direction.magnitude > 2) {
	this.transform.Translate(0,0,-0.05f);
		//anim.SetTrigger("Atakuoja");

}
}
}

So this simple script is bassicly checking does enemy see the player if he does he moves until he is 5 blocks away i wanted him from that spot to attack the player well jump on him (its a wolf) i tried to script it and i ran into countless problems so i thought hey i can just set trigger to activate animation when he gets close enough. Problem is if i create attack animation (iam using low poly model made by myself in blender its novice model no bones no nothing etc. ) the script doesnt affect wolfs movements anymore so bassicly if animation has parameters for position script wont be able to change wolves position so could i get some help or at least some kind of link to tutorial for my issue

“this”…doesn’t that refer to the script itself and not the gameObject that contains the script? That is how I always use “this”. like “this.enabled = false”, when I want to disable the script. Or " Destroy (this)" when I want to destroy the script.Does the wolf have a navMesh Agent on him? This is a C# script below that may or may not work as is but it’s a snippet of a working script I have on one of my enemies

public float damping;
NavMeshAgent agent;
  if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) == 20)
		{
			var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Player.position - transform.position);
			transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, rotation, Time.deltaTime * damping);
    
    if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) == 5)
anim.SetTrigger("attack")
agent.SetDestination(Player.transform.position);
