How do I make widget animations reusable?

UMG single animation for multiple widgets

Hello, I’m wondering, is there a way to apply a single animation to be used for multiple widgets? For example, have a single animation called ‘ButtonHover’ that can be used for all the buttons in a menu when a mouse is hovered on each? I am asking this because I have a menu with a large amount of buttons that look the same, but rather than having a seperate animation for every single one of those identical buttons, I would like to have a single animation to be called for each button when requi…

I found an answer here which helped.

As an example,: Say you wanted a Menu Widget, where the text is a button that plays an animation when hovered.

You create a new widget (call it Button Widget) and set it up with the functionality you require.

Then in your Menu Widget you compose the items using your Button Widget.

Hope that makes sense, best of luck!
