Animation direction based on character's direction

Hi guys. I have a basic 8 way animation, which is handled by "MoveX" and "MoveY" parameters of AnimatiorController.

         anim.SetFloat("MoveX", CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Horizontal")); // Mobile stick pulled to right
         anim.SetFloat("MoveY", CrossPlatformInputManager.GetAxis("Vertical")); //Mobile stick pulled upwards

but, when the character is rotated to different direction, MoveX and MoveY are still trying to animate as if the character is rotated to (0,0,0)

so what I want to have is, when the character is looking at right, and when the mobile stick is pulled to right, it should alter the MoveY value instead of MoveX value, so that moving forward animation can be played.

It was so hard to explain, I hope it was clear enough,

Thanks
