Play an animation every shot?

So, right now all I have is a recoil code making the gun fire. I want an animation to play over it, which seems easy enough. animation.Play, right? However, the animation doesn’t play with the actual fire rate of the gun, which is what I need. So is there a way to make the shooting animation match the fire rate?

It sounds like what you want to do is change the speed of the animation playback, correct? In other words, you have a looping animation that plays in (say) 1 second, and the gun fires (say) twice per second, so you need to set the animation speed to (say) twice as fast.

You can do this with AnimationState - start here, with the script reference: Unity - Scripting API: Animation

Well, not exactly. For every shot thats fired, I want the animation to start from frame 1, without making the animation seem like its playing too fast. So that rules out adjusting the speed

So can't you just use the built in animation methods to do that? Take a look at that link - there are methods to stop, rewind, and play animations. If you do that every shot, you will be restarting the animations from frame 1.
