How to invert a 2D animation

Questions & Answers
1

Hello Unity Community!

I’m almost started to learning Unity. I’m making a basic 2D game and I have a problem with animations. I have done all scripting and animations for basic movements (idle, walk, jump) but when I walk backward it’s still playing the walk forward animation.

What should I do? I know it’s a stupid question but I have tried to scale x -1 on local parameters but it doesn’t work, the player (gameobject) appears on other x position.

I need a solution to fix this. Can somebody help me? Thanks you

void flip ()
{

	facingright = !facingright;
	Vector3 theScale = transform.localScale;
	theScale.x *- = 1;
	transform.localScale = TheScale;
