Loopable animations not working with AnimationStateReference play extension

I’m using this code for previewing animation states out of playmode in the editor;

/// <summary>
/// Script to change animation states in editor to preview states in scene
/// </summary>

#if UNITY_EDITOR
[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]
[ExecuteInEditMode]
public class AnimationStateInEditor : MonoBehaviour
{
    [AutoProperty, ReadOnly, SerializeField]
    private Animator anim;
    
    public AnimationStateReference state;

    private void OnValidate()
    {
        anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (!Application.isPlaying)
        {
            //forces to play in edit mode
            anim.Update(Time.deltaTime);
            anim.Play(state);

        }
            
    }
}
#endif

While normal animations work fine, loopable animations only plays the first few frames over and over - not the entire animation. Am I doing something wrong here?

Share your results when this tool is done if it’s possible 😉 I’d like to see how you’re using this animation preview mode in your game🤓

Yep, it simply plays animation on the Animator with all the translations and stuff. To separate particular animation you probably need to parse animator controller to receive AnimationClip asset, construct new playable graph on the fly and inject your clip asset and playable output (animated avatar). It’s been a while since I dabbled with playables, but it should be relatively easy to do the thing you want There are some links that may help: Playable example, SimpleAnimation example project and also it seems that legacy Animation component might work
