In my StateMachineBehaviours public variables do not update in the inspector

Hi,

I'm trying to use an animator controller as a Finite State Machine for NPC AI, but I'm just starting. I created a StateMachineBehaviour and attached it to a State. The script contains some public variables. When I pressed play, I checked the object that had the animator, and checked the state in which the StateMachineBehaviour was placed. The values of the variables were not changing in the inspector. I used Debug.Log and the Visual Studio debugger to check whether the variable values were changing or not, and they were working fine. Hence, the problem is that the inspector is not refreshing, it just shows the initial values. Even though I can continue working, debugging will be horrible.

I'm using Unity 5.4.3.

Thanks for your help.

 public class BasicNeeds : StateMachineBehaviour {
 
     public int test = -1;
     public string ImperantNeed;
     public GameObject Character;
 
      // OnStateEnter is called when a transition starts and the state machine starts to evaluate this state
     override public void OnStateEnter(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex) {
         Character = animator.gameObject.transform.parent.gameObject;
         Debug.Log(Character.name);
     }
 
     // OnStateUpdate is called on each Update frame between OnStateEnter and OnStateExit callbacks
     override public void OnStateUpdate(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex) {
         test = test +1;
         ImperantNeed = "saying hello";
     }
 
     // OnStateExit is called when a transition ends and the state machine finishes evaluating this state
     //override public void OnStateExit(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex) {
     //
     //}
 
 }
