Get AnimatorState from StateMachineBehaviour

I have a custom editor script for a StateMachineBehaviour where I can create data I want to use at runtime (OnStateEnter etc.). I store the data in a ScriptableObject, which I can load from at runtime.

However, in order to retrieve the data at runtime, I need to know which AnimatorState it is associated with. Is there any way go get the name of the AnimatorState which the StateMachineBehaviour is attached to from an editor script?

 

I know this is an old thread but its what I found when searching for the same question. In my case I wanted my StateMachineBehaviours to know what type of clip the AnimatorState was using, so I needed it during the editor

turns out you'll want to refer the static method AnimatorController.FindStateMachineBehaviourContext(stateMachineBehaviourInstance).

took me longer than it should to track that down. (was about to resort to reflection).

but now I got my editor with a nice preview of the clip directly in the state machine behaviour
