I tried to stop the animation objects with a button, I want to when it stops, the object is located at the starting position.
For example I have a cube with animated moving position. when the stop button is pressed, the cube back to its original position.
When no animations are playing, Unity does not change the object's position at all - so stopping it will not reset the position for you. It will just not move it any more.
If you want to return the object to the configuration it was in before you started playing your animation, you have to do it yourself. Your options are:
Make the start position be set by an animation as well. That way you can just play that animation after the other one has finished.
Make the animation you're playing return the object to its start position at the end - i.e. have the last frame of the animation be back at the object's start position.
Write code that captures and restores the object's position, by saving the values of transform.position/transform.rotation and then setting them again when the animation has finished.

I have an animation in Unity, its 2D, made from Sprites.
My animation is blocked, I mean, I can't add a new sprite, click play button, or add a new Property.
In order to animate an object in Unity you have to have a valid object selected, that is to say, the object can be animated.
This is typically a game object that is selected in the hierarchy.
Without this, how does the animation window know what it can and can't animate? That is the way that properties are animated in Unity, it needs to know what it is supposed to be animating, the valid object tells it what can be animated. Without this knowledge, the animation window will lock down certain features, adding keys and playing the animation.
In your case, select the game object that you want to have animated and, if you have a valid animator controller in place, the animation window will set itself up with all the necessary bits and pieces, namely the animation clips. Then you can animate to your hearts content.
Here's the animation window reference:

Hopefully this answers your question.
Ok, this is frustrating but Ive created an animation loop on a prefab however after the prefab is spawned the animation (which is changes in position/rotation) runs the animation (thus moving the prefab) far away from where the prefab is spawned.
For example if my prefab is spawned at the origin, because of where I placed the prefab when I animated it, it animates in THAT place.
I need my prefab to run the animation but in the PLACE where it was spawned, not where I animated the original prefab. How can I fix this? What am I doing wrong?
I animated using Unity's animator.
This is an common mistake in unity animation.
It's the case when you have to animate the position and at the same time change the position from the code.
In this case the simplest workaround would be to move your visuals to a child game object and animate the position of that object. Now you can change the position of the "parent" game object from code and still have the additive animation on the "child" game object.
Uncheck "Apply Root Motion" in the animator. This will prevent the animator from moving the object. The object will then move using only your code.
I have an animation for humanoid models to simulate climbing. I have been looking for a way to stimulate this animation when the model comes next to the window. I used the triggers to determine where the model is and it worked. However, when I execute the animation, the position of the model is not being updated according to the animation. I am using offmesh links and nav mesh agent and I disable nav mesh agent when the model triggers. How can I use the animation and provide the update simultaneously?
Animation Properties
Thanks in advance.
I don't think the animation should take care of the movement. You should control that somewhere else. You could make the animation climb from y = 0 to 5 but then it won't work if your ladder is at y = 3.
You'd better have a method that is called from the animation using AnimationEvent so that when you trigger the animation, it also triggers a movement of the object upwards/downwards regardless of the current position of the object. It would simply use Translate and disabled input until the animation ends.
I'm trying new unity 3d options for 2d games. I'm trying to create background that changes depending on actions i made. So if i press button one i get sprite one as background and if two i get sprite two. Since I have 32 options, I figure out the best way would be to have an Animator, that changes frame depending on button click. So i created animator and animation. But the problem is I can't set time to where to stop animation to show selected frame.
I'm trying like that:
Animator ani=background.GetComponent<Animator>();
ani.animation["field_back_anim"].time=0.5f;
ani.speed=0;
But it fails at second line with that error:
MissingComponentException: There is no 'Animation' attached to the "background" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
You probably need to add a Animation to the game object "background". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.
However if I do no code the animation just plays trough all 16 frames. So i gues there is animation after all.
On the background GameObject I have 2 components first is sprite renderer and second is animator. When I open animator in Animator view i see there green rectangle saying Any state and yellow one with "field_back_anim". I don't get what i'm doing wrong.
I will also except any other solution that does the following.
Thanks!
The animator component is used to control transition between many animation clips. If you're going to playing an animation clip on a gameobject, an animation component is proper, not the animator. Remove the animator and add an animation component to your background gameobject in the inspector. If you set animation property to field_back_anim, your gameobject will animate well. Manipulation codes should be changed like below.
Animation ani = background.GetComponent<Animation>();
ani["field_back_anim"].time = 0.5f;
ani["field_back_anim"].speed = 0;
I found this question Move an SVG object along a line or a path but I need to move the object using a keyboard is it posible to freeze the animation along the path in one place, and change animation position somehow?
You can call pauseAnimations to freeze all animations. You could then modify the animation element attributes using element.setAttribute as you wish.
