Unity 5 Animation attaching

Question

I have created the walking and idle animation for my fps player. I've added a JavaScript script to access it, but when I run it and press button(w), it stops and says that the animation is not attached to the object.

When I drag the walking/idle animation and drop to that object, it creates an animation controller. Again I run it, still same error. I can't find where to attach the animation

Here's my script:

function Update () 
{
  if(Input.GetKeyDown("w"))
  {
    GetComponent.<Animation>().Play("walk_anim2", PlayMode.StopAll);
  }
  if(Input.GetKeyUp("w"))
  {
    GetComponent.<Animation>().Play("idle_anim2", PlayMode.StopAll);
  }
}

Where do I need to attach the animation?

Answer 1

You are using an Animator component but you are referencing Animation in your script. You can see in the error it says MissingComponent. You should use Animator component.
