How It Works
The GS_ButtonComponent connects to LyShine’s interactable notification system. When the interactable reports a hover event, the button plays its hover animation. When it reports an unhover event, the animation reverses or stops. Select works the same way.
Animations are defined as .uiam assets and assigned in the Inspector. Each button can have independent hover and select motions.
Integration with Page Focus
When page navigation moves focus to a button (via keyboard or gamepad), the button treats focus as a hover event and plays its hover animation. This ensures consistent visual feedback regardless of input method.
