Check animation state time - why doesn't work?

Question

I need to disable object after its current animation (state in animator) is finished.
Why is it doesn't work?

if (myObject.GetComponent<Animator().GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(1).normalizedTime == 1) {
myObject.SetActive(false);
}

It's not a good idea to compare float directly like normalizedTime == 1. Just use < or >=. You can also use Mathf.Approximately.

Anyways, when you start an animation, start a coroutine function that checks if that animation is done. This prevents wasting time in the Update function to check when animation is done. That coroutine function should have a paramter that checks for the name of the animation.

IEnumerator OnAnimationComplete(string name)
{
    Animator anim = myObject.GetComponent<Animator>();

    while (anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName(name) && anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).normalizedTime < 1.0f)
    {
        //Wait every frame until animation has finished
        yield return null;
    }
    Debug.Log("Animation has finished");
    //Do something
}

Usage:

1.Start the animation.

2.Start the OnAnimationComplete coroutine: StartCoroutine(OnAnimationComplete("JumpAnim"));

There other ways to do this too such as using the AnimationEvent event. Check out the provided link for examples about this.
