How to play animation backward, by user clicking?

Unity Engine
1

I have to pull something, so if user click again, and pulling animation is playing, how to play it backward?
I tried this
void OnMouseDown(){
animator.speed =-1;
}

But it saying me in console animator’s speed can be negative only in animator’s recorder.
How to achieve this?

You can change the state’s speed multiplier instead.

You’ll need to expose it as a property, as explained in this post:

And the use animator.SetFloat(“myPropertyName”, -1) in your script.
