Get Animator parameter index by name

Never mind, I found a workaround. Here it is, if someone else happens to have this problem:

 public byte GetAnimatorParameterIndex(string paramName)
 {
     for(byte i = 0; i < anim.parameters.Length; i++)
     {
         if(anim.parameters[i].name == paramName)
         {
             return i;
         }
     }
     Debug.LogError("Parameter " + paramName + " doesn't exist in the animator parameter list!");
     return 0;
 }
