Legacy Animator State Machine - Object Instance - SM does not affect Object Animations

I have created a little raccoon character prefab for a board game. It contains an animator which points to the FBX's imported animations.

If I click on the state machine of the generic object, it affects the instance.

If I click the instance, then the state machine for that instance shows, and the states are updating. From there I can turn on the booleans but they have no effect.

Why is this? Why can I not have an animator on an instance that works?

Thanks in advance!

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.AI;
5. using UnityStandardAssets.Characters.ThirdPerson;
6.  
7. public class RaccoonToken : MonoBehaviour {
8.     private Animator anim;
9.     private Transform target;
10.     private NavMeshAgent nav;
11.  
12.     // Use this for initialization
13.     void Awake () {
14.         SetReferences();
15.     }
16.    
17.     // Update is called once per frame
18.     void Update () {
19.         if( this.target != null ) CheckDistanceFromDestination();
20.  
21.         bool jump = Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1");
22.         this.anim.SetBool("Jump", jump);
23.     }
24.  
25.     void SetReferences() {
26.         this.anim = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
27.         Debug.Log(this.anim.runtimeAnimatorController);
28.         this.nav = gameObject.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
29.     }
30.  
31.     public void MoveTo(Transform destination) {
32.         Debug.Log(this.anim);
33.         this.target = destination;
34.         Vector3 position = new Vector3(destination.position.x, destination.position.y + 1, destination.position.z);
35.         this.nav.SetDestination(position);
36.         Debug.Log(this.nav);
37.         this.anim.SetBool("Walking", true);
38.         Debug.Log("Walking state: " + this.anim.GetBool("Walking"));
39.     }
40.  
41.     void CheckDistanceFromDestination()
42.     {
43.         //Debug.Log("destination: " + this.nav.destination + ", pathStatus: " + this.nav.pathStatus);
44.         float dist = Vector3.Distance(this.target.position, transform.position);
45.         if (this.anim.GetBool("Walking") == true)
46.         {
47.             if (false)//dist < 1.85f)
48.             {
49.                 this.nav.enabled = false;
50.                 Debug.Log("Walking state: " + this.anim.GetBool("Walking"));
51.                 this.anim.SetBool("Walking", false);
52.                 Debug.Log("Walking state: " + this.anim.GetBool("Walking"));
53.             }
54.         }
55.     }
56. }
57.  

 

Obviously what I want here is for the raccoon to run once I set walking to true in the state machine of that instance. I can't for the life of me figure out why the state machine particular to that instance won't animate it but the prefab that is already selected before I click play will.

You can see the state machine of the instance properly changing walking to true when I click run.

 

I figured it out. The instance actually had two animators. One on the container object and one on the model itself. I eliminated the container object as it wasn't really needed. Fixed everything. The state machine now properly affects the instance animations.
