Created an Open Close Animation, but script wont activate both doors?

Question

I have a sliding door, i already made the 2 animations for each door. Open and Close, i have the collider set as a trigger, and a sound on the trigger object. When i walk into the collider i hear the sound but only the right door slides open? And if i exit the collider i only the right door slides closed.

SO why is the left door not opening? it is animated properly i tested it. I added them in order under Animation: 1,2,3,4

 private var enter : boolean;
     
 function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider){
     if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
     enter = true;
     animation.Play("SlidingDoors");
     animation.Play("SlidingDoors3");
     audio.Play();
     }
 }
 
 function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider){
     if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
     enter = false;
     audio.Play();
     animation.Play("SlidingDoors2");
     animation.Play("SlidingDoors4");
     }
 }

Any help would be nice, it's driving me crazy i must have missed something. Update: SlidingDoors = Left Door/Open, SlidingDoors3 = Right Door/Open. SlidingDoors2 = Left Door/Close, SlidingDoors4 = Right Door/Close.

You are playing both your animations on the same object. This means that when you play the animation "SlidingDoors3" it stop the other animation "SlidingDoors" from happening. I would recommend separating them out and have the animations play on their own objects. Something like this maybe:

 private var enter : boolean;
 public var leftDoor : GameObject;
 public var rightDoor : GameObject;
  
 function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider){
     if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
     enter = true;
     leftDoor.animation.Play("SlidingDoors");
     rightDoor.animation.Play("SlidingDoors3");
     audio.Play();
     }
 }
  
 function OnTriggerExit (other : Collider){
     if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
     enter = false;
     audio.Play();
     leftDoor.animation.Play("SlidingDoors2");
     rightDoor.animation.Play("SlidingDoors4");
     }
 }

Remember to assign your doors in the inspector.

Ahh thanks man, i knew i was missing something. So i had to define each door as an object, i had all 4 animations on the trigger it's self lol. /Facepalm

So i Updated the script, and i had to re-make the animations for each door, because they reset for some odd reason when placing it on a new object. (Animation: Practice makes perfect) i was able to make them look way better when opening this time and the ti$$anonymous$$g. But now it works 100% i walk up it beeps and the doors slide open, i leave the trigger it beeps and they slide closed!

I even tested it with my enemy AI, when he wanders up it activates the error code "lights flash" (doors lock) and the guns shoot him and i have to disable the alarm. (i updated the script since i posted it) i added a lot more stuff like my Alarm+$$anonymous$$eypad.

But thanks for the help. i will keep that in $$anonymous$$d for future objects and switches with more than one animation haha.
