Sending raycast to animate a object

Hello

I am trying to animate an object my hitting it with a raycast that is attached to my player character the code for the raycast is below `

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class SpellRayCast : MonoBehaviour { SkeletonController sControl; public bool skelAwaken = false; // Use this for initialization void Start () {

 }

 void FixedUpdate () {
 RaycastHit hit;
 Ray ray = new Ray (transform.position, transform.forward);
 Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) * 10;
 Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, forward, Color.green);

     if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit)){
         if (hit.collider.tag == "Skeleton") {
             skelAwaken = true;
         }
         else{
             skelAwaken = false;
         }
         }
     }
 public bool giveAwake(bool Res){
 Res = skelAwaken;
 return Res;
 }
 }

The code for the Object I am trying to animate is below

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class SkeletonController : MonoBehaviour {
 Animation anim;
 Animator anima;
 bool awaken;
 public Rigidbody rBody;
 SpellRayCast awake;
 GameObject spell;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
     anim = GetComponent<Animation>();
     anima = GetComponent<Animator>();
     rBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     spell = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Spell");
     awake = spell.GetComponent<SpellRayCast>();
     awaken = awake.giveAwake(Res:awaken);
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         if (awaken == true) {
             anima.SetTrigger("Awoken");
             anim.Play("Reanimate");
         }
     }
 }

Any help would be appreciated, new to programming sure I messed something up
