Ugh typos like this one console.LogInfo("Hey great, I found " +
entityNameToFind +. Starting animation); shoud have " after the
entityNameToFind
+.
Having all those prints and the timer to retry are kind of extra, on a
clean production version you would know that the stuff is present and will
be found 100% so you could remove most of the code there to about 5 lines.
I added some error reporting for you just for fun.
Have fun, hope it works :)
