How to make object appear to shake when hovering over?
Hi all,
Is there a way to make an object "shake" when the user hovers over it? I can't seem to find anything on this in the community or in animations...all help appreciated!

There are no emphasis animations. You could try using a tight scribble animation. But it will be tricky to use on hover.
To Phil's point, You need something to trigger the motion, something to continue the motion, and something to stop the motion. However, a few triggers, variables, and a few hot spots along with a T/F variable can do the trick. See attached SL2 file.
Thanks Owen, not had chance to look at the file. My first thoughts were to show a layer with the object repeated on the layer but hidden on the base layer when the layer shows, with a motion path applied and then just add trigger to move the object when the animation completes.
I always have reservations with this type of hing on hover because at some point flicking the mouse across the screen quickly often breaks the restore function.
Looking forward to having a look in the morning.

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe this thread here still provides some useful info.
We need Storyline to give us emphasis animations similar to PowerPoint's emphasis animations. There are many times when I want to use something like "shake". Ideally, I'd like these to be controllable via triggers, too (similar to the move trigger for motion paths).

How about using a gif file for hover state? That might be the easiest way to do so.
I was trying to simulate electrical noise. The gif idea worked beautifully!
