I have an animation type (let's say animation type ID 40) and I want to play it in a script. I thought it would be adding a this.combatant.Animations.play(40) in buttonplayercontroller, but I had some exceptions.

Can you post the error/exception you get?
Generally, that's the way to do it, i.e. just call the Play function with the ID of the animation type you want to play:
combatant.Animations.Play(typeID);

I see what I did. this.combatant = wasn't set yet, so I changed the order in my version ofButtonPlayer extended.

so I have another question!

Is there a way to pause a legacy animation? I.E I'm extending the buttonplayer script to incorporate a climbing mechanism, and it goes right back to idle when I stop the idle button but I want to try and get it to pause the animation (so I can resume when I climb again)

Actually, if I don't find it in the API, how can I play a legacy animation directly from code? Would I be able to modify the speed to 0 that way?

You can just play animations via the Animation component of Unity. Pausing would be setting the speed of an animation (state) to 0.
