mecanim left and right animation

I have just started to look at the mecanim system for use with character movement.

I have imported a rigged character successfully and have used mecanim to move my character forward. Camera is at angle so it looks like the character is moving right (with the camera being orthographic) - all good there.

but my problem is when i use my left key, how do i change the animation to animate and move left...?

Basically I just want a character moving left and right

 

Hey,
Did you tried to put a negative force(the same value for the right, but negative)?
About the animation, you can flip the animation in the same way, but here you rotate the object in Y-axis.

 

maybe i shouldnt have posted whilst i had an headache but thank you, pointed me in the right direction (excuse the pun) and got it working now.

Used

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. transform.eulerAngles = Vector3(0.0, 180, 0.0);
3.  

Will work on it at a later date so the character smoothly turns around but at least i can move the character around now.

Thanks

 

I used the animator and set a float so when going left and right with the keys right would be - numbers and forward would be + numbers 0 would be still. This does work if you know how to do it properly, I didn't figure out the backwards motion I just added an animation that when Vertical is being pulled down or pressed on keyboard it walks backwards slowly but the float in the animator would go say -3 and then when let go and up is pressed it would go to say 3 in the float in animator and he does the forward movement, all movement is better set up in the animator I personally think.
