Is it possible to turn on the animation of another object from the script of one object?

Question

Unity

Hello! I have two objects , one player and another item and the player can interact with the item . And in the code of the item, I wrote functions when the buttons are pressed, when the buttons are pressed, the player releases or raises the item, the lifting should go with animation, the animation starts when the button is pressed, but because animations are made for the player, not for the subject, it gives an error. Well, the question is whether it is possible to turn on the animation of another object from the script of one object? I know that it is possible to run the animation through the code of the player itself, but then I will have to pass some parameters through GetComponet, but it hurts the optimization.

Answer 1

Picking up an item is best done in the player's script. So it will be more readable, and the problem will be solved.
Well, the animations of another object are indeed called through GetComponent.
