Animated choices?

[quinnsea]

Hi! I think I almost have the code I need to ensure whenever someone hovers over a choice it plays a looping animation. I just... can't figure out what this last thing needs to be.

Code: Select all

init python:
    gui.button_hover_properties("choice_i.action") =
    "gui/button/animchoice 1.png" 
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 2.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 3.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 4.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 5.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 6.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 7.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 8.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 9.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 10.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 11.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 12.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 13.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 14.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 15.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 16.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 17.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 18.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 19.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 20.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 21.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 22.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 23.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 24.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 25.png"
    pause 0.1
    "gui/button/animchoice 26.png"
    pause 0.1
    repeat

I've been giving different names to gui.button_hover_properties("choice_i.action") for a while, but nothing seems to stick. What's the right name for the variable? Thanks in advance, all help is appreciated!

define gui.button_hover_background = "button hover background"

That didn't work either, it's still just using the default image.
