    I cant find any descent tutorial or documentation on how to script events from an animationclip. I am talking about Mecanim here (not about the Legacy system). Please, if someone could give me an example that would be great.

    In the animation clip import inspector, go to the Events (bottom one) and add an Event for the time you (use the Play and Scrub controls there in the preview window below it). Make sure you are adding it right, the little buttons there to add an Event are not intuitive. And fill in the function name field, you'll need it later for the code.

    Then, in the component on an object running that clip, add a function named the same as the name you gave it when you created the Event above.

    It uses SendMessage to call your function delegate.
