Credits animation confusion

The Problem

I wanted to make a credits menu to show off our team members, and it worked. However, I wanted a way to only play the animation when the credits menu is opened. For the longest time, I could not figure out how to do that. When I tried, the animation didn't play, and I didn't know what went wrong.

The Solution

After some hefty Googling, I found a solution. I had to create a new animation state, called "Idle", which would be the default state of the animation. Then, I made a Boolean variable that would be set to true when the credits button was clicked. Once activated, you guessed it, the animation would play as expected.
