I am trying to make text bubbles animate continuously until the timeline ends. I am trying to recreate the animation when you can see the text bubbles when a person is texting you back. I cannot figure out how to make the bubbles appear to be moving and changing colors. I was thinking I could do it with states.
That is definitely the concept I am trying to achieve.... I just cannot figure out how to create that loop without using the timeline.... Was hoping for a variable or trigger :/
An object can be made hidden and visible multiple times using states, without appearing multiple times on the timeline. When it becomes visible, its entrance animation runs. You can make it visible by choosing setting it to any visible state.
To prevent it from disappearing, I copied one of the states and put them under the bubbles. Make them invisible, and the bubbles will only show two states, and be hidden for one cycle, which you may prefer.
Change the order of the states in the triggers, to see the colors in a different order, and change the length of the animation to see them change faster or slower.

I've got the start of something here, but it's not right. The animation is clunky.
Maybe it will get you going on an idea.
Thanks Tracy Ill take a look

Thanks A Bunch!!!!
For a triggers only solution, try this version.
