How do you play an animation in reverse?

I think I may have found an easier method to play animation in reverse than the forum posts I've read. In the Animator you can add a float parameter "Modifier". Once you've done that inside the Inspector for your animation state you can check the Parameter box next to the multiplier property and associate it with the Multiplier parameter you added to the Animator. Then through script you can simply change the Modifier parameter similar to below:

 private Animator animator;
 float movementDirection;
 ...
 void Update()
 {
     animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.DownArrow))
     {
         movementDirection = -1.0f; //Reverse
     }
     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
     {
         movementDirection = 1.0f; //Forward
     }
     animator.SetFloat("Multiplier", movementDirection);
 }

Hope this helps!
