When exactly is OnStateUpdate called for different AnimatorUpdateMode-s?
The documentation on this is pretty sparse, and the LifeCycle Events page doesn't mention it.
The tl;dr here is, I'm trying to co-opt the animator as a generic state machine, which will also involve updating a physics object, and hence necessitating something akin to FixedUpdate timing to ensure stable simulation.
I think I have a way around this regardless, but if the AnimatePhysics setting makes OnStateUpdate happen in the FixedUpdate phase, it could potentially simply things a whole lot.
If you found your answer, can you post it and mark the question as soved?
I haven't attempted to use your suggestion to test for an exact answer, presently I am using a pretty hacky workaround via abstract classes and setting some meta-state from OnStateEnter in a "base" state class...
There's a pretty easy way to find out. Simply print the current Time.fixedTime both in the physics loop and the OnStateUpdate call, and see which is first for each frame.
