Godot: Suggesrtion: Splash screen minimum display time

[Nolkaloid]

It would be great to be able to set a minimum display time for the splash screen, now as soon as the game is loaded the splash disappears, although if I want to to show some thing to user, like my studio name or brag about using Godot I may want to display it for some amount of time even if the assets are already loaded.

you can create a splash screen scene

[Nolkaloid]

Yo sure but it feels really hacky.

if I want to to show some thing to user, like my studio name or brag about using Godot

but if you want to show this information you are going to need to create your own custom splash screen anyway, right?

[Nolkaloid]

yeah, need to create a splash in some image editor, set it as the splash and set a minimum display time, let's say 5 seconds and then if the game is already loaded just run it as usual

[ghost]

i usually let the player click the screen to bypass the custom splash screen (increases the user experience, and is the ethical thing to do).

This is pointless, the splash screen is existing only for making a visual appearance when loading internal engine routines, you cannot control its behavior in code, thus making a splash screen scene is valid continuation for this. Sorry but closing..

No it's not pointless, I think it's fine to add a minimum display time for people who want it.

But it's a duplicate of #8867.

@Chaosus

I agree with @akien-mga . It wouldn't be too much to ask to implement a splash screen timeout Timer. I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to create a splash screen scene and add a timer and a script because the timer and a script to change_scene() to the main menu screen. I don't understand how you can come into this thread with such an attitude and close the thread like that just because YOU deem is "pointless". Seems like there's a bit of an elitist, antisocial vibe about a lot of these tech forums and not only on this site. I remember first seeing it on hacker chatrooms on IRC and then on StackOverflow and now here. This is why people are afraid to ask questions and create threads. Even ones that are using the correct question formats for whichever site.

Dude, it was several months ago, I'm changed. And this issue is closed due to be a duplicate - whats the problem ?
