In Decorate this is pretty easy. You just add whatever frames to your Select state.

 

This is a snippet from Metroid Dreadnought, a more advanced example:

Deselect:
        PBEM RSTUVW 1 A_WeaponReady(WRF_NOFIRE | WRF_NOSWITCH)
        TNT1 A 0 A_JumpIfHealthLower(1, "DeadLower")
        XBEM A 5 A_WeaponReady(WRF_NOFIRE | WRF_NOSWITCH)
        TNT1 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 0 A_Lower
        XBEM A 0 A_Lower
        loop

Here's what it looks like in action:

 

So all you really need is your own frames in your Select state. You can get fancier and add some to your Deselect state too if you want an animation like above.
