Widget animating a property from its current value

[Shaanig03]

hello UE folks, I’m having a issue with widget scaling using animation, this issue has been already solved in another topic, I tried to follow that topic but it doesn’t work and for some others users as well it didn’t work

my issue:

when I hover a widget it scales up through animation but if I unhover while the animation is playing and re-hover it, the animation plays starting from the value in the keyframe but I wanna start the animation from it’s current value to the end

things I tried:

• followed the topic’s solution
• added a animation using the + button
  • 
• added a ‘Transform’ track
• setting two keyframes, first keyframe with scale 1 and second with scale 1.5
  • 
  • next adding a relative transform
  • dragging relative section on-top of the absolute section
  • right clicked the track → went to properties > clicked the two padlocks
  • this didn’t work >_<

Hi, this looks like exactly what I need! I did stumble upon the relative and additive track modes but I couldn’t find any documentation of how they would work. The video describes exactly my problem but doesn’t show in detail how they solved it / set up their sequencer, so I’ll just have to play around with the relative track and see how it works. Could you describe in more detail about blending a relative section into an absolute section please?

Did you try with the get anim time ?

So the goal is:
Hover: make image bigger
Unhover: if on middle of animation, keep last anim value
ReHover: resume image bigger

Edit/Add the condition if needed when the anim is completed, you might want to reset it.

tried ur solution, it kinda works but I notice its not that smooth while I hover multiple items, also in the topic I included that guy also pointed that out while using Play Animation, so I think I’m gonna switch to using the Event Tick or Set Timer by Function Name

EDIT:

after alot of adjusting and stuff, your solution works without any stutter or glitches
