I apply an animator component to my Game Object. After that when I play the game, I try to change the localScale of the game object but it doesn't work.

Here is my code to change the game object's localScale according to its direction on the x coordinate.

private Rigidbody2D rb;
private Vector3 direction;
private Animator anim;
private bool isLookingRight;

void Start()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
    isLookingRight = false;
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    TurnDirection(horizontal);
}

// turns the player towards to movement direction
private void TurnDirection(float horizontal)
{
    if (horizontal > 0 && !isLookingRight || horizontal < 0 && isLookingRight)
    {
        isLookingRight = !isLookingRight;
        direction = transform.localScale;
        direction.x *= -1;
        transform.localScale = direction;
    }
}

It worked well before applying the animation to the Game Object. I can't change the scale of the Game Object even manually on the inspector while playing the game.

This is probably caused by keyframes controlling localScale in the animation file. If you don't need it, you can solve the problem by deleting these keyframes from the animation window.
