It sounds like you’re encountering a common issue with button hover animations when using a controller! The key thing you want to change is the way the color transition is handled. Instead of using a slow animation, you can set the button’s color directly in the script when the button is selected.

Here’s a simple approach you could try:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ButtonColorChange : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Button myButton;
    private Color normalColor = Color.white;
    private Color hoverColor = Color.red;

    private void Start()
    {
        myButton.GetComponent().color = normalColor; // Set the initial color
    }

    public void OnSelectButton()
    {
        myButton.GetComponent().color = hoverColor; // Change to hover color immediately
    }

    public void OnDeselectButton()
    {
        myButton.GetComponent().color = normalColor; // Change back to normal color immediately
    }
}

In this script, you can call `OnSelectButton` when the player selects the button (e.g., using the controller’s ‘A’ button or whatever is appropriate) and `OnDeselectButton` when they move away from it.

Make sure to link these methods to your button in the Unity Inspector. You can do this by adding the methods to the ‘On Click’ events for your button. Just remember to handle the selection state based on the input, like using Unity’s EventSystem or similar to detect when a button is selected.

This way, you’ll get that instant visual feedback that players expect when hovering over or selecting buttons with a controller! Let me know if you need any more help with this!
