Can't assign an image to script in animator

[MrScamander]

I’ve written a scrip which disables an image when an animation ends, but i can’t assign the image to animator

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class afterFade : StateMachineBehaviour
{
    public Image image;
    override public void OnStateExit(UnityEngine.Animator animator, UnityEngine.AnimatorStateInfo animatorStateInfo, int layerIndex)
    {
        image.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
}

I confirmed this behavior with a quick test, and now I realize why. Read here:

Can't put public instance in StateMachineBehaviour

Hello y'all ! i'm making a demo in which I need to reference some variables in animation states. This process works like a charm when I'm using string or any numeric values. However, I can't slide any scene GameObject in the field. In particular, I want to activate and deactivate a TrailRenderer in when entering and exiting a state. Here's what I got so far: public class ActivateEffects : StateMachineBehaviour { // public TrailRenderer [] trails; public GameObject trail; …

You are dragging a scene-based object into that field, and that field is stored in the actual animator asset on disk. You can’t have a disk asset referring to something as transient as a scene object, in the same way you can’t drag references to an in-scene prefab into a not-in-scene asset’s property field.
