Why Won't My Animation Work?

Questions & Answers

Hi, I’m new to Unity and haven’t been able to find anything online related to this issue.
I’m trying to get my sword to swing with a basic animation made in unity when I click the left mouse button, but for some reason the animation plays as it should, but only once when I enter the game view and it isn’t called when I click the left mouse button as it should.
Here is what i’m working with with the code to the right. (The error at the bottom should be solved already)

From what I can see, your Sword variable is a Transform object.
The animation will reside on the game object itself. Try using:

Sword.parent.animation.Play("MeleeAttack");
