animator.SetTrigger not triggering animation

Question

I am currently working on a Beat 'em Up style game, and wanted to set a trigger on mouse1 down to perform a punch using SetTrigger, see code snippet bellow:

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
    {
        isAttacking = true;
        if (vertical != 0 || horizontal != 0)
        {
            vertical = 0;
            horizontal = 0;
            animator.SetFloat("Speed", 0.0f);
        }

        animator.SetTrigger("Punch");
    }

Problem is that the animator.SetTrigger does not recognize the animation name i have given it, and states it is missing that component.

Thank you all.
