step 1 put the monster in hierarchy

step 2 click on the monster hierarchy and look over to the inspector and click add component and and type animation.

step 3 in the animation type how many animation you have

step 4 select the animation you wont to put on the monster and drag and drop it in the animation you opened up

Also to add to ryan2brian's post, make sure the animation type is legacy, not generic. So when u click on the animation in the project assets, in the inspector make sure animation type is legacy (under rig)

Should i do that to the animation file or the monster file? or both?

I followed the steps but when i draged and droped the monster in the scene and started the game it didn't play the animation, is that what supposed to happen? or am i doing it wrong?

maybe you dont have anything to trigger your animation i think i have a script someway on my hard drive if i can find it i well share it with you

ok make a c# call it PlayAnimations and past this into it


using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayAnimations : MonoBehaviour {
public AnimationClip clip;
public KeyCode code = KeyCode.Mouse0;

void Start()
{
if (!animation) this.enabled = false;
}

void Update()
{
if (animation)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(code)) animation.Play(clip.name);
}
}
}
