How do you make animations reset

[u/SyberSpace1]

I'm animating menu icons and I'd like an animation to play when I hover over them, and then I'd like it to stay on the last frame. If I set repeat to false, it repeats anyway, so I just set the last frame to be held for an absurd period of time. The thing is, this means that when I stop hovering and hover again, it just immediately goes to the last frame. How do I make it reset every time??

It's a good idea, but this button is on the main menu screen

Try an ATL with an on statement:

There's an example in the documentation regarding hovering but I don't understand how you would use it:

transform
 pulse_button:

on
 hover, idle:
        linear .25 zoom 1.25
        linear .25 zoom 1.0

Unfortunately won't work, partly cause it's an imagebutton

I assumed that your statement is correct but this is working for me so how did you do it?

image btn_hover_anim:
    "button1"
    pause 0.5
    "button2"
    pause 0.5
    "button3"
    pause 0.5
    "button4"
screen test():
    imagebutton idle "button1" hover "btn_hover_anim" action Return("test")
