C# Getting a certain AnimationState using strings from all objects with specific tag

This will never work because you are trying to store each " animated wall" 's animator, but you only have 1 reference animator, which means you are just setting it over and over. Even if you have multiple "resetscripts" in your world, by calling GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("AnimatedWalls"); you are getting EVERY object in your scene with the tag "AnimatedWalls". When your forloop is done it has only the last animated wall's animator/info/etc. You are overwriting references to the previous objects. I dont know if this will work...but hopefully it puts you on the right track. its basically a manager of the walls. you wouldnt need more than one in your scene. when you want to play a gameobjects animation you pass its gameobject into TriggerAGameobjectsAnimation(GameObject go)

         public class ResetScript : MonoBehaviour
         {
             public class AnimatedWallsInfo
             {
                 public GameObject wallObject;
                 public Animation anim;
                 public string[] animNames;
                 public string statenames;
                 public string anidown;
                 public string anirev;
 
                 public void PlayAnimation()
                 {
                     //you were doing "anidown.ToString()", but it is already a string.
                     if (anim.IsPlaying(anidown))
                     {
                         //you were doing "anirev.ToString()", but it is already a string.
                         anim.Play(anirev);
                     }
                 }
             }
             public List<AnimatedWallsInfo> walls;
 
             void Start()
             {
                 //setup our wall list
                 walls = new List<AnimatedWallsInfo>();
 
                 //finds every game object in the current scene with the tage "animatedwalls"
                 GameObject[] wallGroup = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("AnimatedWalls");
 
                 //for every gameobject we found
                 foreach (GameObject wall in wallGroup)
                 {
                     //create a new class
                     AnimatedWallsInfo animWallsInfo = new AnimatedWallsInfo();
                     //the gameobject reference for this specific wall 
                     animWallsInfo.wallObject = wall;
                     //the walls animator
                     animWallsInfo.anim = wall.GetComponent<Animation>();
 
 
                     //Im not really sure what youre trying to do in this area, but you would plug it in something like this
                     foreach (AnimationState state in animWallsInfo.anim)
                     {
                         animWallsInfo.statenames = state.name;
                         animWallsInfo.animNames = new string[] { animWallsInfo.statenames };
                         animWallsInfo.anidown = Array.Exists(animWallsInfo.animNames, element => element.EndsWith("down"));
                         animWallsInfo.anirev = Array.Exists(animWallsInfo.animNames, element => element.EndsWith("rev"));
                     }
                     //
 
                     walls.Add(animWallsInfo);
                 }
             }
 
             public void TriggerAGameobjectsAnimation(GameObject go)
             {
                 //for all the walls we stored
                 for (int i = 0; i < walls.Count; i++)
                 {
                     //if the reference gameobject is the one we want to play
                     if (walls[i].wallObject == go)
                     {
                         //trigger the animation
                         walls[i].PlayAnimation();
                         break;
                     }
                 }
             }
         }
