skip/remove "play" button after loader is complete?

[Annika Terrortante]

How can i skip the play button?

I would like the game to direct start after the loader was completed.

Specially for testing stuff its very annoying when i allways need to click...

also i would like to make my "own" start button then in a extra scene, with some options etc.

i was sadly not able to figure it out so far with the doc :(

Hi Annika,

To suppress the play button, use the `suppress PlayButton = true` property. 

https://excaliburjs.com/docs/api/v0.20.0/classes/_loader_.loader.html

To customize the play button, you can override the `playButtonFactory()` and custom element out.

I'll make an issue to make this more prominent in the docs.

Sorry about that, let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Cheers,

Erik

hi, thank you =)

i use the

loader.suppressPlayButton = true; property but it seems to have no effect :(

Hi Annika,

Apologies I mispoke before, the suppressPlayButton needs to set as an engine property.

https://codepen.io/eonarheim/pen/mamYbz?editors=0011

The play button is meant to workaround Chrome blocking audio without a user gesture https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes#webaudio, as such using suppressPlayButton=true in Chrome will cause the loader to freeze (suppressPlayButton=true in another browser like firefox or in a headless testing environment will still work though since they do not have audio context restrictions yet)

I've added an issue for Chrome to allow the loader to continue with a warning about audio context in the console.
