Problems with using the same Animator Controller on multiple objects.

Hi,

I've got a weird problem with animations and how they are triggered. In my scene I have a number of objects, each duplicates of one another (or prefab-instances, doesn't matter). They all have the same components (and scripts) attached to them and also share the same Animator-Controller with the same animations. Now, when I trigger an animation (via GetComponent().SetTrigger("trigger")) on one object, what regularely happens is that the very same animation also gets triggered on a random number of the other objects in the scene, EVEN if those are in a mecanim-state with no transition at all to the animation that gets (wrongly) triggered. I really made sure and tested, that the trigger only gets fired on one(!) object, but other objects still get affected, seemingly at random.

I wonder, is this because I use the same Animator Controller and the same animations on all of the objects? Does every object need its own individual Animator Controller (or Animator Override Controller) ? Or is there something else that could cause this weird behavior?
