Play Animation Clips

I'm trying to use a script to play Animation Clips that I have loaded into variables. So far not much luck:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4.  
5. public class AnimationControl : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     public bool SelectState;
8.     public AnimationClip CurrentAnimation;
9.     public AnimationClip Normal;
10.     public AnimationClip Selected;
11.     public AnimationClip Destroyed;
12.     public AnimationClip Timed;
13.  
14.     public string CurrAnimToStr;
15.  
16.     void ToString() {
17.         CurrAnimToStr = CurrentAnimation.name;
18.  
19.     }
20.  
21.     void TimedVersion(){
22.  
23.     }
24.  
25.     void GetSelectTrue(){
26.         PieceScore triggers = GetComponent<PieceScore>();
27.         SelectState = triggers.isSelected;
28.         if(SelectState == true) {
29.             CurrentAnimation = Selected;
30.         }
31.     }
32.  
33.     void AnimationController() {
34.         GetSelectTrue();
35.     }
36.  
37.  
38.     // Use this for initialization
39.     void Start () {
40.         CurrentAnimation = Normal;
41.     }
42.    
43.     // Update is called once per frame
44.     void Update () {
45.         AnimationController();
46.         animation.Play("CurrentAnimation");
47.     }
48. }

Yeah its incomplete. It won't play the animation clip. Is the name of the clip stored as a String? How do I access it and get it to play from the stored variables?

 

Ok I'm changing this up a bit. I've setup an animator with 4 states and 4 motions. I want to rewrite this script to change the motion attached to each state on the fly.

Lets say one state is "Normal" and has a motion attached. The next state is "Selected" and has a motion attached. I want to be able to swap the motions out from another script.

However I can't find anything in the manual that allows me to select a state from the animator component or the motion attached to that state.

I see:
hasRootMotion
applyRootMotion

and:
GetNextAnimationClipState
GetNextAnimatorStateInto
and current ones too

So how would I actually grab a specific state within the animation and apply a variable as a motion?
