Mirror animation clip through script

Unity Engine
1

Hello guys,

how can I mirror an animation clip in mecanim through script??
basically I want to be able to switch between original and mirrored version of the same clip in runtime.

thanks…

Duplicate your animation and set the speed to -1 to play it backwards.

this is not mirroring.

Mecanim has a ‘mirror’ checkbox for 3d animation clips. Just copy the animation and check the box. For 2d sprite based clips, this doesn’t work. I’ve created a feature request to fix this, as I don’t think it’s a bug: http://feedback.unity3d.com/suggestions/2d-allow-mirror-flag-in-mecanim-to-be-used-with-sprite-animations

Yes, but how do you do this in script?

I wrote some scripts to help reverse clips in the editor over the years, not sure if you need to do it in runtime. There is also a script in there that shows how to create behaviors in the Animator state machine. https://github.com/Straafe/unity-editor-tools

how can i enable mirror boolean through accessing animator???

and also how can i change the speed of animator by script while in playmode?? i can make parameter of float and change the speed, but i want the main speed to change into negative value if i want, bcz if its doing ni forward way and in loop then it starts playing in backward way as same speed without doing any jerk or any other kind of issues
